Itinerary

Full-Day Cultural & Scenic Drive Tour

Morning: Discover Bhaktapur (Pickup around 9:00 AM)

Your guide and driver pick you up from your hotel. The morning is spent wandering through the majestic Bhaktapur Durbar Square, visiting famous landmarks like:

55-Window Palace
Nyatapola Temple (Nepal’s tallest pagoda)
Vatsala Temple
Dattatreya Square & Peacock Window

Enjoy stories of ancient kings, local festivals, and timeless crafts.

Midday: Newari Lunch Break

Take a break in a local courtyard restaurant and enjoy a plate of ‘Samay Baji’ or Newari-style lunch. Optional: try locally brewed rice beer (‘Chyang’) if you're feeling adventurous.

Afternoon: Scenic Drive to Nagarkot (approx. 1.5 hrs)

After lunch, you’ll drive uphill through peaceful countryside to Nagarkot, perched at 2,175 meters. Once a royal retreat, today it’s one of the best spots near Kathmandu for wide-angle Himalayan views.

Evening: Nagarkot Sunset Experience

Settle in at the Nagarkot View Tower or a quiet ridge-top spot. As the sun begins to dip, the snow-capped peaks catch fire—turning gold, then crimson, then fading into twilight.

After sunset, drive back to Kathmandu (approx. 2 hrs.).
Drop-off at your hotel by 7:30–8:00 PM (depending on traffic and sunset timing).
