Nagarkot Sunrise and Scenic Hike to Changunarayan Temple

Day 1 Stop At: Nagarkot View point tower, Nagarkot, Bagmati Zone, Central Region The day begins when it is still dark (about 4 am – 5 am depends on season) as a private vehicle leaves the hotel in Kathmandu and makes its way toward Nagarkot Hill about 42 Km drive to watch one of the finest sunrises over the mighty Himalayas. On a clear day, you can see the ranges of Langtang, Ganesh Himal, Mt. Manaslu and the Annapurna Mountains.The sun's rays first begin to light up the sky, turning the snow-capped peaks from grey to pink before the rising sun turns the snow a most brilliant white.The scene is absolutely breathtaking. Enjoy then a hearty breakfast about 7 am at one of the many fine restaurants at Nagarkot (breakfast not included in price of our).About 8am the guide will lead you after breakfast on the trail toward Changu Narayan. This trail passes through Brahmin and Tamang villages.Watch the people as they farm the terraced farms that hang on the sides of the hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley. On clear days, there are great views of the Himalayas along this trail. The trek is about 3 to 4 hours to the smallest and least visited of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Changu Narayan. Here discover a wonderful little Newari village where they still do wood and stone carvings like they have done over the centuries. Changu Narayan, because of its location receives the least amount of visitors of the World Heritage Sites, yet is a real gem. The oldest temple in the valley is a top the hill in the village.There is an opportunity to experience Newari food for lunch in Changu Narayan(not included in price of tour). The people of the village are very friendly and accommodating, demonstrating true Newari hospitality.
