It is a peaceful ride filled with awesome views of villages and green hills.

View from Nagarro's hilltop
Wake up early in the morning and enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the mountains. The landscape looks like a painting as the sun rises, lighting up the hills and valleys.
Nagarkot's hilltop location makes it an excellent viewpoint. In winter, one can see the Himalayan range stretching on the horizon. On a clear day, one can even spot the summit of Mount Everest.
After breakfast, you will be driven to the domestic airport in Kathmandu to catch your flight to Pokhara. During the thirty-minute flight, you can enjoy amazing views of the snowcapped mountains - Annapurna, Machhapuchhre or Fishtail Peak, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu.
Our guide will drive you to your hotel on arrival. No activity is planned for today. You can explore the lakeside area on your own in the evening. The scene at the lakeside turns lively and fun at dusk.
