After a short sightseeing tour in the temple area, the spectacular hike of about 4km uphill kicks off. Panoramic views of renowned mountain peaks such as Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Annapurna, and Langtang Lirung greet hikers en route. Hiking through Telkot Village and other similar villages witnessing the local lifestyle and people grazing their cattle, it is arrival time in Nagarkot.
