Highlights

What sets this tour apart is the perfect combination of Himalayan sunrise, scenic hiking, and cultural heritage in a single day. Unlike regular sightseeing tours, you get to witness breathtaking sunrise views from Nagarkot, including the possibility of spotting Mount Everest on clear mornings. The hike downhill offers an immersive experience through forested trails, terraced farmlands, and traditional villages, giving a true sense of rural Nepali life. The tour culminates at Changu Narayan Temple, one of the oldest Hindu temples in Nepal and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, blending natural beauty with spiritual and historical significance. This mix of adventure, nature, and culture, all easily accessible from Kathmandu, makes the tour unique, memorable, and ideal for travelers seeking both scenic and cultural experiences in one day.

About Kathmandu

Kathmandu is Nepal's ancient, colourful capital, a valley city of temples, stupas and royal squares and the gateway to the Himalaya.

Kathmandu Durbar Square, the old royal square, is crowded with pagoda-roofed temples and palaces, and nearby lives the Kumari, the city's living child goddess. Thamel, the travellers' quarter, is a tangle of lanes selling trekking gear, prayer flags and handicrafts, busy with cafés and rooftop restaurants.

Top-ranked sights in Kathmandu: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
