Overview of Nagarkot Sunrise and Bhaktapur Day Tour

What could possibly rival the beauty of the Himalayas under the awakening sun? We warmly invite you to our Nagarkot sunrise and Bhaktapur day tour to experience the magnificent location of Nagarkot.

Nagarkot at 2195 m just one and a half hour’s drive farther from Kathmandu is an idyllic location to watch the sun rising above the horizon casting a crimson glow over the Himalayas of Manaslu, Huinchuli, Annapurna I, and II, Ganesh Himal, Jugal Himal, Gyaltzen Peak, Shisapangma, Gaurishankar, Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, and Annapurna South.

Once complete, our Nagarkot sunrise and Bhaktapur day tour will continue taking you onward to Bhaktapur which together with Patan and Kathmandu is one of the magnificent former royal cities of the Kathmandu Valley.

However, this town is more original and most authentic among the three where you can see the pagoda temples rising above the characteristic streets and the women still wearing the typical Newari clothing seen in red and black colors.

On foot with our guide, you will see all the Bhaktapur highlights and all the lesser-known alleys. See the peacock window, the Palace of 55 Windows, the Golden Gate, and the Nyatapola Temple, as well as taste the famous Juju Dhau, the King Yogurt of Nepal.

And in the pottery square, see the people turning the wheel creating beautiful unique ceramics and arts. After the Bhaktapur tour is over, our Nagarkot sunrise and Bhaktapur day tour will then head you back to Kathmandu.

Here, we also like to point out that you can add the option of short hiking towards Changu Narayan Temple on the way to Bhaktapur. This temple sits as the testimony of the medieval era between 450 AD-750 AD of the Licchavi period.

Enlisted in UNESCO protection, this temple is the perfect location for a spiritual short encounter along with the very particular old wooden, stone, and metal carvings of Nepali artistry.
