Kathmandu Uncovered with Nagarkot – 1 Days

Trip Description

This one-day Kathmandu uncovered tour packs up magnificent views of the Himalayas from Nagarkot with a glimpse of the cultural heritages of Kathmandu valley. If you have only a day to spend in Kathmandu or are looking for a way to spend your spare day before or after trekking, this day tour might be perfect for you. We have planned your one-day trip in such a way that you don’t miss the most important feature of visiting Nagarkot which is sunrise.

At around 4 or 5 am, we drive to Nagarkot in a tourist vehicle to witness a beautiful sunrise with a fresh glance at the magnificent views of the mountains. After breakfast, we drive back to a few heritage sites you can find on the way back from Nagarkot. First, the Changu Narayan temple then the Durbar Square of Bhaktapur. At a feasible time in the afternoon, we can have lunch at one of the destinations then head back to Kathmandu to explore the Hindu temple- Pashupatinath, and the Buddhist stupa- Bouddhanath.
