Nagarkot: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
Located just 33 km from Kathmandu, Nagarkot is the closest village to the capital from where it's possible to see Everest.
My suggestion
The 8,848 metre high roof of the world can be very difficult to see. The best times of day to see Everest are the morning and the afternoon, at which times there is a slight chance the mountain will be visible to you.
Behind the clouds in Nepal, there is a little village hidden in the Himalayas called Nagarkot Each morning holds in store a variety of landscapes revealed by the sunrise. It is sublime, colourful... And in the distance, when the sky is clear, you can see Mount Everest wearing it's eternal coat of snow and ice.
My suggestion
Enjoy yourself and try out the local cuisine, from momos (it's like butch ravioli) and omelettes using cheese made from yak's milk. There's a feast to be had!
Nagarkot is a little village some thirty kilometres from Kathmandu, perched on the top of a mountain and offering, if you are lucky, a breathtaking view over the surrounding countryside.
My suggestion
Do not miss this stage of your route through Nepal, especially if you are only staying in the Kathmandu region. This is in fact an opportunity to go and discover in the fresh air some incredible view points over the Himalayas.
