Nagarkot is located 25 miles east of Kathmandu, Nepal. It is on the northeastern rim of the Kathmandu Valley at an elevation of 6,800 feet above sea level. It is the most scenic spots renowned for its sunrise views of the Himalayas. You can see Mount Everest with its snow-topped peaks from an observation tower.
The ancient Hindu temple of Changu Narayan is located on a high hilltop that is also known as Changu. This shrine is dedicated to lord Visnu and held in special reverence by the Hindu people. This temple is considered to be the oldest temple in the history of Nepal.
Bhaktapur is the living representation of how the entire Kathmandu Valley would have looked like during the medieval periods. Its glorious architecture; sky-high temples built in pagoda style- the stairway to the heaven, fine clay pottery, and massive royal courtyards whose existence date back to the 12th century, where devotees, still, celebrate their pre-historic festivals by equal amount of gusto and passion.

The homestay experience in Thulo Sirubari truly immersed us in local culture, where we learned about the community’s traditions and enjoyed hearty meals with our hosts. While the accommodations were generally comfortable, the Wi-Fi was spotty, which was a bit challenging for our business needs. Overall, exploring Kathmandu and Pokhara alongside the warm hospitality in Sirubari made for a well-rounded and enriching journey.
