Located 32 km east of Kathmandu, Nagarkot hill is a stunning destination that offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas and the surrounding landscape. It is a popular spot for viewing the sunrise and is an ideal day trip from Kathmandu for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Driving to Nagarkot via the ancient city of Bhaktapur takes approximately one and a half hours in the early morning. From the scenic view tower, visitors can enjoy the golden hues of the snow-capped mountains as they bask in the sun’s early rays. While Nagarkot is known for its sunrise views, it also offers a spectacular location to witness the sunset. Spending a night in one of the many guesthouses or resorts in the area is necessary to take in the sunset views. The region is also home to several historic sites, including the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Changu Narayan Temple, another World Heritage Site in the Bhaktapur district. With its stunning natural beauty and cultural heritage, Nagarkot hill is a must-visit destination for those traveling to Nepal.
