Embrace the Dawn: Sunrise Over the Himalayas

As the first light of dawn kisses the peaks of the Himalayas, there’s no better place to be than Nagarkot. Nestled in the heart of Bagmati Province, this serene village offers a front-row seat to one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles. On April 26th, the weather promises clear skies in the morning, making it the perfect day to embark on the Nagarkot Sunrise Tour. This private car tour not only offers a mesmerizing sunrise view over Mt. Everest but also includes a visit to the historic Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

The tour kicks off bright and early, with a 5 AM departure from your hotel. As you ascend to Nagarkot, the anticipation builds. The air is crisp, and the sky begins to lighten, revealing the majestic silhouette of the Himalayas. Upon arrival, you’ll have an hour to soak in the panoramic views as the sun rises, painting the mountains in hues of pink and gold. It’s a moment that stays with you long after the sun has climbed higher into the sky.
