Kathmandu Nagarkot Trekking is one of the most scenic spots only an hour drive from Kathmandu lies at an elevation of 14,00 meters. The place is the most popular hill-station of Kathmandu, if not of Nepal! Why not? Nagarkot is only 32 kilometers east of Kathmandu, so you can easily access the place in a short drive. Perfect for any outdoor camping or a family outing, you get to enjoy one of the most mesmerizing sunrise and sunsets. Therefore, we would highly recommend you to stay here overnight and wake up to the most beautiful sunrise above the snow-capped peaks of Dhaulagiri in the west to Kanchenjunga in the east. On a clear day, Kathmandu Nagarkot trek bestows you with the unobstructed view of Mighty Everest, and other peaks including Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and Langtang.

Kathmandu chisapani Nagarkot trek has dense & luscious forests, offering a great view of the ancient Bhaktapur city from the hill –top. During the trek, you get plenty of chances to walk uphill & downhill the forests and see the picturesque Nagarkot villages. It certainly guarantees to create moments to stay in your picture book of memories.
