Most of the people coming up here for the views simply park
themselves on a terrace or prop themselves up in bed at dawn. However,
if you want an even better view than the one from your lodge, hike an
hour from Nagarkot to the viewing tower that can be seen to the south.
From this tower, you can even see Mount Everest, which isn't visible
from the lodges at Nagarkot. While the top activity at Nagarkot is
sitting back and gazing at the long wall of snow-covered peaks that
stretches off into the distance, this is also a great place to get an
idea of what trekking is all about. Several long day hikes are
possible from Nagarkot, and destinations include Bhaktapur and the
temple complexes such as Sankhu, Changu Narayan, and Vajra Jogini.
These hikes can be done as part of your return trip to Kathmandu, as
round-trip hikes (though with arduous climbs back up to Nagarkot), or
as one-way hikes utilizing buses or a taxi for the return trip to
Nagarkot. |
