The tour begins with an afternoon pick-up from your hotel in Kathmandu. The drive to Nagarkot is most scenic along the Arniko Highway, passing along small rivers, towns and farmlands. As you get closer to Nagarkot, you will drive uphill through sharp bends and lush green forests. The drive is about 1.5 hours. Upon reaching Nagarkot, proceed towards the view-tower which is about 65 steps from the parking from where you can witness some majestic panorama of the world's tallest mountains. Observe the setting sun as it slowly hides behind the mountains, painting all the Himalayas in golden brown. Nagarkot itself is abundant with deep forests, small meadows and fresh wind blowing straight from the far Himalayas. After enjoying the view, drive back to Kathmandu to get dropped back off to your hotel.

Nagarkot is the most popular Himalayan viewpoint closer to Kathmandu City.
