Nagarkot and Changunarayan Hike from Kathmandu

Your day begins early, with pick-up from your hotel around 7:30 am or 8:00 am. Your friendly guide and driver will ensure a smooth start to your adventure. The itinerary includes a stunning sunrise view from Nagarkot, followed by a scenic hike to Changunarayan. You have the option to explore Bhaktapur Durbar Square before returning to Kathmandu; this cultural excursion can be included in your trip cost if you wish. You have the flexibility to choose between two main options for your tour, each offering a unique experience tailored to your preferences.

Bhaktapur First: This option begins with a visit to Bhaktapur, one of Nepal's oldest and most culturally rich cities. You'll explore its ancient temples, vibrant squares, and exquisite Newari architecture, soaking in the local culture and history. After your time in Bhaktapur, you’ll drive to Changunarayan, where you can admire the beautiful surroundings before embarking on your hike to Nagarkot. This scenic trek allows you to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and charming villages along the way. Once you reach Nagarkot, you’ll have the chance to relax and witness the mesmerizing sunset views, as the setting sun casts a golden hue over the majestic Himalayan range.

Sunrise or Sunset Only: If you prefer a more leisurely experience, this option allows you to focus solely on the sunrise or sunset without the hiking component. You can choose to start your day with an early morning trip to Nagarkot to witness the stunning sunrise over the Himalayas. Alternatively, you can opt for an evening excursion to enjoy the captivating sunset. Both options provide a relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to take in the breathtaking views at your own pace while enjoying the serene beauty of the mountains.
