About Nagarkot Sunrise and Bhaktapur UNESCO Tour from Kathmandu

Experience the sunrise from Nagarkot and explore the Bhaktapur Durbar Square on a day trip from Kathmandu. Admire the views of the Himalayas and the Kathmandu Valley and discover the Newari culture. Start your day with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Kathmandu and drive to Nagarkot.

At an elevation of about 2,175 meters above sea level, Nagarkot is located about 36 km east of Kathmandu Valley. As one of the most scenic spots in the region, Nagarkot is famous for its sunrise views of the Himalayas. Observe Mount Everest with its snow-topped peaks and an overlook tower at the very top of the village’s hills.

See eight out of the 13 Himalayan ranges of mountains in Nepal, such as Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Jugal, Rolwaling, Mahalangur (Everest), Numbur. The Kathmandu Valley and Shivapuri National Park will also be visible from the top. After the sunrise, head to the old classic streets of Bhaktapur, where you can experience the ancient culture and history of Nepal.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square contains many showpieces, art, architecture, and historical monuments. Observe a collection of the pagoda and Shikhara-style temples sorted into a 55-Window Palace made of brick and wood. The square is part of a beautiful valley as it highlights the idols of ancient kings resting on top of stone monoliths, the guardian divinities looking out from their shrines, and the wood carvings in the very place, which seem to form a well-orchestrated symphony.

Some of the highlights of the square are the palace of 55 windows, the Golden Gate, Nyatpole, and Pottery Square.
