Nagarkot Bhaktapur Day / Overnight / Hiking Tour
Nagarkot Nepal is famous destination for view of sunset and sunrise along Langtang mountain range as a backdrop far beneath the horizon. Nagarkot sunrise tour is really incredible despite of cold in early morning as view tower offer mesmerizing view of Langtang Range along with eastern and western mountain range. Nagarkot a hill station situated at eastern side of Kathmandu is around 42 km in distance and situated at altitude more than 2,000 m from sea level. On the lap of it there exists a medieval city of Bhaktapur which was separate kingdom before. We can still have glimpse of architecture and housing during Malla kingdom. Bhaktapur is full of cultural stuffs, three different square named Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Pottery Square and Datrataya Square. It is famous for clay pottery, as one can explore pottery square where manufacturing process of clay products are carried on small scale traditional way manually. Other attraction and Siddha Pokhari (Pond), Fifty Windows Palace, Siddhi Laxmi Temple, Nyatapol Temple (5 stories temple), statue of lion which belief to be a guard a city and palace, golden gate etc.
We highly recommend Nagarkot at least for one night as it offers amazing sunset and mesmerizing sun rise over Langtang ranges where one can view sun as an orange ball slowly rising upwards. Hotels in Nagarkot range from normal tourist star categories to deluxe resort and five star hotels. Instead of staying around Bhaktapur it is better to move toward Nagarkot. Being a different valley than Kathmandu it is almost same either to hire cab or rent professional car rental services. So in general Nagarkot tour is mix of culture and nature as one can have a backdrop of Langtang Range far beneath the horizon with excellent wood carvings on monuments, temples and pond nearby.
