Introduction

Nagarkot is a scenic view point located 32 kilometers east from center Kathmandu. It is a hill station with a great surrounding view of Himalayas. Thus many people explore the place to be refresh from the crowd of the city. For Nagarkot day hike are mainly two options, either go directly by drive or go through a 3/4 hours hike through beautiful landscapes, green hills and charming villages which starts from Bhaktapur. Nagarkot Hill is located at 2,195m/7,200ft above from sea level offers clear view of Langtang Himalayan Range including Mt. Dorje Lakpa as well as great view of entire Kathmandu Valley. The place is also advertised as a view point over Mt. Everest 8,848m but in fact it is not guaranteed, if the weather is clear we can see only the direction (too far) of the Mt. Everest.

 

Kathmandu to Nagarkot day Hike is a very popular hiking route of Nepal since it is a short walk and gives natural feel as same as trekking over any remote hills of Nepal. Our hike actually starts after a short drive from Kathmandu to Changu Narayan Temple (oldest Hindu temple and also a world heritage site of UNESCO in Kathmandu). We follow gradual ascend through pine forest and green hills until we reach at Telkot. Again, we follow continuous ascend by following a Hindu temple, Tamang cultural village, terraces farmland all the way to Nagarkot. Once we reach and explore the views of surrounding from Nagarkot either we can drive back to Kathmandu same day or overnight stay over there for tantalizing sunrise view over the Himalayas in next morning, there is several sophisticated hotel and resorts available.

    Great Trip We had a great time in Nepal thanks to Pradip and his team! From landing to take off we were thoroughly looked after. We were greeted at the airport and the same person helped us in Katmandu both sides of the trek, picking us up from our domestic flight and again taking us to the airport at the end. He was always early and received a sweet momento on arrival and departure. Due to weather we unfortunately had to make a last minute decision to change our route; Pradip and the guide See Wa were very accommodating and we easily changed from ACT to Poon Hill and ABC. He quickly sent us a new itinerary and we were picked up the following morning. We were given options as to how we wanted to get to Pokhara and Pradip made this seamless for us. Many trekkers also had to change their route to ABC rather than other routes like ACT and EBC which meant the tea houses were very busy. Our guide ensured that we always had a room to stay in and was flexible with our itinerary if we wanted to walk further/fit in a visit to the hot spring. At times it was a bit difficult to communicate with the guide due to the language barrier and we found we were fitter so would often be walking ahead with one of the porters but over all we had a good experience and would recommend.

    16 day tour to Gokyo Ri & EBC My girlfriend and I went on a 16 day tour to Gokyo Ri and Everest Base Camp and were in Nepal for almost 4 weeks. All I can say is that Pradip is an outstanding person. He took care of us from day one in Kathmandu, was extremely helpful and did everything so that we felt good and secure, not just on the trekking trail but also at every place we stayed in Nepal. Unforgettable experience which I highly recommend all of you share !

    Gokyo Ri & Everest Base Camp Trek - January 2022 Cet agence touristique est réellement à l'écoute des besoins de ses clients et tente toujours de répondre à toutes leurs questions. J'ai pu tout organiser à distance avec Pradip Sharma qui a été très transparent sur les tarifs pratiqués et m'a accompagné dans la préparation de cette aventure, notamment en me guidant dans mes derniers achats à Katmandou et en m'évitant les arnaques.Pendant la randonnée, mon guide Mane s'est montré très professionnel lorsque la haute altitude est venue altérer ma condition physique. Son soutien et ses conseils ont été indispensables. Il est préférable d'organiser cette marche au printemps ou à l'automne pour éviter le froid pouvant aller jusqu'à -18°C...Il faut une dizaine de jours soit pour Gokyo Ri, soit pour EBC. Pour boucler les deux en un coup, il faut 15 jours.L'expérience est intense et parfois difficile mais reste inoubliable.
