Situated 2,266m above sea level, it lies between the borders of Phalewas municipality and Mahashila rural municipality. Key attraction for visitors is the view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain range and the sunset sky. The Chisapani Kalika temple which is believed to have been constructed two and half century ago is a pilgrimage site for Hindus and large numbers of worshippers congregate the temple on Tuesdays, Saturdays and on Navaratri (Ninth days of the Dashain festive) along with animals sacrifices. Landscapes of Phalewas village which lies north west of Chisapani, Kurgha and Pangrang villages and the Kaligandaki river are visible from this point. The 360 ha dense forest lies in the middle of the Chisapani highlands. The forest area extends to vicinities around Lunkhu, Pangrang and Kurgha villages.
