Nagarkot Sunrise View and Day Hiking from Kathmandu - Breakfast in a small Nagarkot restaurant

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 471 reviews · from $45Our pick

Review of Nagarkot sunrise and hiking from Kathmandu, with Himalayan views, village trails, Changu Narayan, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Great hike through rural ethnic villages that farm and raise animals chickens, goats etc. The chances of a clear sunrise view are only 50/50 so don’t go just for that. We didn’t get a view of the Himalayas only a red ball of the sun. But the hike was wonderful, long but not overly difficult, and wonderful people, animals and villages along the way capped off by a UNESCO World Heritage Site temple with wonderful souvenirs abounding. A great follow up to my city tour of Kathmandu sites the previous day.”

“Sarankot is a beautiful smaller mountain that overlooks Phewa Tal lake and the Annapurna mountain range. Getting up early to see the sunrise there is really worth it. The pastel purples and pinks as the sun rises and reflects off the snowy Himalayas is breathtaking. I can highly recommend MTK Trekking and the Sarankot Sunrise tour. They are my go to tour booking company I've used them a few times.”

“This is a great tour to experience local Nepal. Our guide Madan was excellent and the driver was great. We didn’t get to see the sunset but it was still an awesome tour. Please note however that you should be able to walk up and down a number of stairs. The hike was not difficult but the stairs might be challenging for some”

“We were picked up a 4:30 for the drive to Nagarkot in the dark. There was no commentary but then it was hard to see anything. Arrived in time for the sunrise and did get one on a nice day. (The morning was chilly so dress appropriately) Breakfast was provided at a nearby hotel and followed by a walking tour of old Bhaktapur. Our guide Prakash was knowledgeable and it was nice to see Bhaktapur’s Durban Square survives the 2015 earthquake better than Kathmandu. Tickets to enter the city were Us$30 per person (as indicated n the brief). On top of this we had to pay another $7 for the…”
