This magical moment, where the sky transforms with hues of orange and pink, is a testament to the natural beauty of Nepal.

After exploring the scenic and cultural highlights of Nagarkot, the tour concludes with a comfortable drive back to Kathmandu. Reflecting on the day’s adventures during this journey adds to the overall experience, leaving you with cherished memories of Nagarkot hiking.

In summary, a Nagarkot tour is an excellent way to immerse yourself in the natural and cultural splendor of the Kathmandu Valley. From the invigorating Nagarkot hiking experience to the awe-inspiring Nagarkot sunrise, and the rich historical significance of sites like the Bajrayogini Temple, every aspect of the tour offers something unique and memorable.

Additional Information

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the destinations on this site are in remote, underdeveloped areas where unpredictability is the norm. Despite careful planning and organization, our adventure trips can’t be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places we visit lack the emergency health and safety services you’re used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is often uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotel standards may not match those of the West.

If you’re not prepared for this, you shouldn’t travel with us. The unpredictability also means that our itineraries are statements of intent, not contractual obligations. Factors such as weather, transport difficulties, and political instability might require us to change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any necessary changes after consulting with the group. Such changes are rarely significant, and we always do our best to minimize their impact. However, we cannot be held responsible for changes or delays, regardless of their cause.
