Nagarkot

Nagarkot is the edge of the Kathmandu Valley, more than 2,100 meters above sea level, known as "the viewing platform of the Himalayas". When the weather is clear and the visibility is high, you can overlook the Himalayas on the opposite side. From Mount Everest on the east side to the Annapurna Mountains on the west side, the lined up snow-capped mountains are quite impressive. The hotel gathering place on the top of the mountain is a good place for viewing the scenery. It takes ten minutes to walk north from the bus station in Nagarkot to the hotel gathering place on the top of the mountain. There is also a temple on the top of the mountain, and you can see some simple carvings. This hill is where you can see the snow-capped mountains, and most hotels here have a viewing platform with a good view, and some can even watch the sunrise through the window in the room.
