Overview

Escape the city and start your day with a breathtaking sunrise from the hilltop village of Nagarkot, one of the best spots near Kathmandu to catch views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest (on clear days). After soaking in the scenic beauty and enjoying a warm tea or breakfast with panoramic mountain views, travel to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bhaktapur—a perfectly preserved medieval city rich in culture, architecture and history.

Stroll through the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, admire ancient temples, see traditional Newari architecture, and explore pottery squares and hidden courtyards. With a private guide and vehicle, this tour offers flexibility, personal attention and a stress-free way to discover two of the Kathmandu Valley’s most iconic highlights in a single day.
