Single Tree Viewpoint & Café (Ichangu / Nagarjun Hill)

If you are looking for a shorter, more relaxed trail that combines a scenic walk with great food, heading up to the iconic Single Tree area is a local favorite. Located on the rolling ridges of Ichangu-Nagarjun, this spot gets its name from a lone, solitary tree that dramatically overlooks the sprawling city below, making it one of the most popular sunset and photography spots on this side of the valley.

Tucked right into this panoramic hillside is the Single Tree Café & Restaurant, a cozy, rustic spot that serves as the perfect reward after your walk. It offers an incredible terrace space where visitors can sit back with a hot cup of coffee or traditional Newari and local snacks while watching the city lights blink on across Kathmandu. Whether you hike up for an afternoon stroll or take a quick drive for an evening dinner, it offers a laid-back, scenic vibe that perfectly complements the peace of Nagarjun.
