Kathmandu and Nagarkot Sunrise Discovery Tour

Start before dawn, drive to Nagarkot on the valley rim, and watch the Himalayan sunrise — a 200km arc of peaks lit gold from Dhaulagiri to Kanchenjunga. Spend the morning exploring Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the best-preserved medieval city in Nepal, before returning through the backstreets of Kathmandu old town. A full day that earns its own place in your travel memories alongside the trek itself.

Itinerary

Nagarkot sunrise viewpoint (2,195m)

The most accessible Himalayan sunrise viewpoint from Kathmandu. On a clear day, the Everest massif is visible on the eastern horizon.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square

A UNESCO World Heritage city untouched by modern development. Potters Square, the 55-Window Palace, and the Golden Gate are unmissable.

Kathmandu old town walk

Navigate the ancient trading streets of Ason Bazaar and Indra Chowk — still buzzing with spice merchants, marigold sellers, and temple life.
