Of all the viewpoints on the valley rim, Nagarkot has the widest view of the Himalaya. After a few days in the city, a night in the cool hills with sunset and sunrise over the peaks does a lot of good. On the way back we walk down through terraced fields and choose the trail together.
Places on this tour: Nagarkot
