What you can expect

Witness one of Nepal’s most spectacular natural wonders on this early morning excursion to Nagarkot, a hill station renowned for its panoramic Himalayan views. Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu through peaceful countryside, leading to Nagarkot’s famous sunrise viewpoint. As the first rays of light illuminate peaks like Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and even distant Everest on clear days, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking start to your day. This serene moment offers a perfect escape from the city’s bustle and a chance to connect with Nepal’s natural beauty.

After the sunrise, you have the option to enjoy a hearty breakfast at the scenic Club Himalaya hotel (own expense) before beginning the hike. The guided 3-hour descent from Nagarkot to the historic Changu Narayan Temple offers a blend of nature, culture, and village life. Along the way, you’ll pass terraced farms, lush forests, and traditional settlements, giving you a glimpse into rural Nepalese life. The hike ends at Changu Narayan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest temples in the Kathmandu Valley.

Whether you choose the short sunrise-only option or the full hike experience, this tour is perfect for travellers seeking a peaceful, active, and scenic day outside Kathmandu. With convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, a fresh packed lunch, and the flexibility of group or private options, this tour caters to both early risers and culture lovers. It’s an unforgettable experience that showcases Nepal’s natural splendour and cultural richness in just half a day.
