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

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 305 reviews · from $20

Explore Bhaktapur’s temples and Newari streets, then ride to Nagarkot for Himalayan views on this flexible private day tour from Kathmandu.

“PROS: Quick booking, good organization. Before pickup time I was contacted by the guide on WhatsApp. He and the driver were there even earlier to pick me up. Guide had good English and explained everything in Bhaktapur. Also answered all Nepal related questions. Car was new and very clean. CONS: This is actually not the fault of the tour itself but the circumstances in Nepal. Nagarkot is famous for sunrise and sunset but due to the weather it’s very rare to see. I was there in November that supposed to be peak season and advisable time to visit yet there is nothing to see. Also the spot itself is full…”

“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…”
