About NAGARKOT TOUR

Nagarkot is probably the most popular short touring destination for anybody who is looking to visit places around Kathmandu. It is just about 2 hours from Kathmandu. Tourists regularly go to Nagarkot to view the Himalayas and to enjoy the sunrise. There aren't many adventure activities to do in Nagarkot but simply breathing the fresh air, enjoying the beauty of the Himalayas, hiking the hills and surrounding forests, or relaxing in majestic hotels and resorts makes the tour worthwhile.

The first thing you notice as you reach Nagarkot is the air. It feels fresher here, thinner and cooler, far removed from the dust and clamor of Kathmandu. The hillsides, thick with pine trees and gentle slopes, are a stark contrast to the city’s urban setting. The village sits atop a ridge, offering sweeping views that stretch out across the valley. The distant peaks of the Himalayas, often hidden behind a blanket of clouds, occasionally reveal themselves. On a clear day, you can see a panoramic view of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest. People often watch the Himalayas early in the morning through their hotel rooms or through the view towers, which are located at a walking distance. The mornings in Nagarkot are the most striking. As the first rays of light break over the mountains, they bathe the landscape in a soft glow, transforming the valley below into a patchwork of green and brown.

The mountain views, the dense forests, the distant sound of farm animals—these are the elements that make Nagarkot what it is. They offer a respite from the busyness of life and a chance to reconnect with the land. Whether you’re gazing out over the valley at dawn, walking through the peaceful village, or simply sitting in the quiet of the evening, Nagarkot is a place that allows you to rejuvenate your soul and connect you with nature.

Being a popular touring destination, Nagarkot is packed with hotels and resorts that rival the ones in Kathmandu. These hotels and resorts tend to be fully booked during the weekends as local tourists often go to Nagarkot during that time to unwind and relax. So make sure to book your rooms in advance if you are planning to tour Nagarkot during the weekends.
