Nepal Cultural Tour

I joined a group for a cultural tour in Kathmandu and specially for the Nagarkot Sunrise tour. The mountain view from Nagarkot was breathtaking. I must say that it competes with Poon Hill. I simply loved the idea of going early in the morning for sunrise view. The cultural sites in Kathmandu are exceptionally marvelous. My guide let me know so much about those sites. I am glad that I did this tour.
