This private half-day tour takes you from Kathmandu to Nagarkot, a scenic hill station located about 1 hour’s drive from the city. Known for its peaceful atmosphere & stunning Himalayan views, Nagarkot is one of the best spots near Kathmandu to enjoy either sunrise or sunset over the mountains.

After enjoying the views, you will also visit the nearby Rani Jhula, a beautiful suspension bridge offering scenic views of the surrounding hills and river valley—perfect for a short walk and photography.

This experience is ideal for relaxation, fresh air, and a quick escape from the busy city.
