Itinerary

  1. 1

    Your private guide will collect you from your hotel at 4:15a

    Your private guide will collect you from your hotel at 4:15am for the scenic 90-minute drive to Nagarkot. You'll pass small towns, lush forests, winding roads, and little teahouses as you enjoy mountain panoramas in the distance. About 24 miles away from Kathmandu, Nagarkot towers at an elevation of 7,200 feet (2,195 meters). Enjoy sunrise from Nagarkot view tower and your guide will point out the different Himalayan ranges in the distance, among them the Annapurna Range, the Mansiri Range, the Langtang Range, the Everest Range, and the Rolwaling Range. From here, you'll follow a small walking trail to the village of Rohini Bhanjyang that has amazing views across to the Himalayan ranges. From here, the rugged path leads through the little hamlets of Kankre and Tanchok to Tusal, where it climbs uphill through farms and farmland to Opi. Hike an hour or so further and you'll reach the stunning hill station of Dhulikhel, with its majestic natural beauty. The snowcapped mountains often look as though they're floating in the air when the blue haze covers their flanks, while the landscapes of farmland and mountain peaks are timeless. Spend some time in Dhulikhel admiring the views and capturing great shots before your private driver collects you and your guide. It's a bit over an hour to Kathmandu, so you should be back at your hotel before 1-2pm, traffic permitting.
