The Kathmandu valley, which covers an area of 257 square miles, is Nepal's cultural heartland. Newars still have their age-old mystic festivals on the grounds of historic palaces and temples in the backstreets of the bustling metropolis. Kathmandu contains around 130 nationally recognized monuments, organized into seven groupings, making it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

A Kathmandu tour includes cultural attractions, Himalayan vistas, and hiking or a short trip. The surrounding green hills provide a backdrop for Himalayan sightseeing and a short and scenic cultural trek.

Nagarkot tour is 32 kilometers east of Kathmandu valley, on a hilltop at an elevation of 2175 meters above sea level. It is one of the most beautiful scenic sites in Nepal's countryside. The excursion to Nagarkot, the valley's second highest peak, is known for its sunrise and sunset views of the Himalayas. Highlights for 2022 and 2023 are us. Nagarkot is bordered by densely forested slopes of pine trees and gives beautiful views of the Langtang ranges, Dorje Lakpa, Manaslu range, Ganesh Himal, and Gaurishankar. This is a beautiful getaway into nature, away from the bustling and concrete jungle of the capital city, where only the wind and the rustling sound of leaves disturb you.

From Nagarkot, one can enjoy a beautiful view of the Indravati River valley in the east and the Kathmandu valley in the west. From the tower, the Nagarkot excursion provides the greatest view of the Himalayas.
