About This Activity

The Nagarkot Sunrise Trek offers one of the most magnificent mountain experiences in Nepal without requiring extreme altitude or technical climbing skills. Beginning in the pre-dawn darkness, you'll ascend through terraced farmlands and pine forests to reach the strategic viewpoint just as the first light breaks over the horizon. As daylight emerges, witness the dramatic transformation as the sun's rays gradually illuminate the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest (on clear days), Langtang, and the Annapurna range. After soaking in the panoramic views, enjoy a hearty breakfast at a mountain teahouse before continuing your exploration of the surrounding villages. This trek provides not only natural beauty but also cultural insights as you pass through traditional Tamang and Newari settlements, offering glimpses into rural Himalayan life that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
