Alternatives:
On the second day we can make the walk shorter by staying at
a place called Chauki Bhanjyang(2000m) in between Chisapani and Nagarkot
Instead of starting the trek from Sundarijal, we can start
it from Budhanilkantha and stay first night in Shivapuri (2563m) and we reach
Chisapani only on the second day. I n that case we need to go camping and not
the lodge to lodge trek.
