Nagarkot Sunrise and Bhaktapur Tour is the most preferred short private tour a little bit away from the bustling Kathmandu city. It involves visiting the popular and scenic hilltop town of Nagarkot for mesmerizing sunrise views. Besides, the attractive town is also a favorite spot to view a chain of Himalayan snow-capped mountains. The prominent peaks visible are Mt. Kanchenjunga in the east and Mt. Dhaulagiri in the west. After the sunrise view, it is time to drive back to Bhaktapur for an enchanting sightseeing tour in the ancient city.
Nagarkot Sunrise and Bhaktapur Tour begins with a very early morning drive from Kathmandu to Nagarkot. It is about one and a half-hour drive to this hilltop town situated at 2195m. Then, it is a precious moment to watch the shimmering first rays of the sun over the mountain peaks. The tour continues with a drive to Bhaktapur and then visiting the several top attractions of the town. The major cultural highlights of this medieval city are the Golden Gate, Nyatapola Temple, National Arts Gallery, the Palace of 55 Windows, Potter’s Square, and several other landmarks.
Roughly 10-hour Nagarkot Sunrise and Bhaktapur Tour showcases the traditional countryside lifestyle of local people. It is a surprising thing to observe the unchanged daily life of people although they live very close to the country’s capital. Standard of living of people within a distance of just 32 km away from the country’s most rapidly influenced city has not been affected by modernity. A popular tour concludes after the sightseeing in Bhaktapur is over and the visitors are driven back to Kathmandu. Overall, it surely is a wonderful experience, especially for first-time visitors to Nepal.
