Experience breathtaking Himalayan views, serene trails, and rich cultural heritage, with a sunrise in Nagarkot, trek through scenic landscapes to Dhulikhel & conclude at the sacred Namo Buddha.
Day 1: Kathmandu – Nagarkot – Dhulikhel
Start early from your hotel in Kathmandu and drive to Nagarkot (approximately 1.5 hours). Nagarkot is famous for its sunrise views over the Himalayas, including Mount Everest on a clear day. Upon arrival, enjoy breakfast with a panoramic view of the mountains. Begin your trek from Nagarkot towards Dhulikhel. The trail mostly descends and passes through dense pine forests, terraced fields, and small traditional villages. Along the way, you’ll get to see stunning views of the Himalayas, including Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Gauri Shankar. The trail also offers insights into the rural lifestyle of the people in the region. Spend the evening exploring Dhulikhel. Visit the old town area with its traditional Newari houses, and if time permits, head to Kali Temple, which is located on a hilltop, offering panoramic views of the surrounding valley.

Day 2: Dhulikhel – Namo Buddha – Kathmandu
Wake up early to witness the sunrise over the Himalayas from Dhulikhel. The sunrise view here is as beautiful as in Nagarkot. The trek from Dhulikhel to Namo Buddha is a gradual uphill walk through forests and terraced fields. The trail is peaceful and offers occasional glimpses of the snow-capped peaks. As you approach Namo Buddha, you’ll pass through several small villages and monasteries. Namo Buddha is a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site, known for the legend of Buddha offering his body to a hungry tigress and her cubs in a previous life. Visit the Namo Buddha Stupa and the Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery. This is a serene place where you can learn about the legend of Namo Buddha, meditate, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. After exploring Namo Buddha, drive back to Kathmandu (approximately 2-3 hours).
