Nagarkot Sunrise Tour with Free Bhaktapur Visit

Nagarkot is a scenic hilltop village 38 km east of Kathmandu, sitting at 2,175 meters. It is the closest and most popular viewpoint for a stunning Himalayan sunrise near the capital. On clear mornings, you can see ranges such as Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and even Annapurna, along with quiet village life and the peaceful countryside. Your tour starts with an early 1.5-hour drive from your hotel to Nagarkot. Upon reaching the hilltop, the fresh morning air and calm landscape welcome you. You’ll watch the sunrise over the mountains and enjoy sweeping views of snow-capped peaks glowing in warm light. Afterward, you may have a local breakfast before heading toward Bhaktapur. The Bhaktapur visit is a free add-on, giving you the chance to explore this UNESCO World Heritage city. Wander through its medieval squares, admire Newari architecture, and experience Nepal’s rich cultural heritage before returning to Kathmandu.
