Therefore, thousands of national and international tourists visit Nagarkot every year.

From  Nagarkot Sunrise View Tower, you can have the most staggering sight of the Panauti Valley and Kathmandu Valley. The land that is cultivated with seasonal crops and vegetables, the dense forests of the national parks and the rolling hills are equally mesmerizing. Apart from this, you can have the 360-degree panoramic view of the snowcapped peaks.  Jugal Himal, DorjeLakpa, Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal and Himalchuli (7,900m) are seen from here. Bhaktapur Nagarkot Sunrise Tour is as popular as Annapurna Sunrise View trek, Sarangkot Sunrise View hiking in Nepal and KalaPatthar Sunrise View Point in the Everest region trek.

After having the lifelong memories of the world’s best sunrise view from Nagarkot, you drive down to Bhaktapur.  Bhaktapur that lies between Kathmandu and Nagarkot, is gaining its popularity for ceramics and green vegetables. Juju Dhau (a brand of yogurt) is the local dairy product of Bhaktapur. The top ornament of this Newari town is Bhaktapur Durbar Square because it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the three durbar squares in the Kathmandu Valley, it is famous for its art and architecture.

There are many historical and cultural sites located around Bhaktapur Durbar Square. So, visiting them makes your Bhaktapur Nagarkot Day Tour more meaningful. The oldest and the largest ancient palace of  Nepal, 55-Window Palace of Bhaktapur is an important archaeological heritage site.  Bhaktapur Nyatapol Temple, Bhaktapur National ArtGallery, Bhairavnath Temple, Dattatreya Temple, Pottary Square and Market are other must-visit sites of Bhaktpaur. The Golden Gate to enter and exit to/from the durbar square is another eminent landmark to give you a unique experience.

The cultural festivals of Newar Community are almost always there entertain you while doing Bhaktapur day excursion. The traditional Newari dances performed by the local people wearing masks in local Newari music is the most striking feature of this tour.

The chariot festivals in which people transport the deities  from one location to another along with the beating of the traditional musical instruments really reminds you of the Rio De Ganeiro Carnival! Nepal Trekking Routes is always ready to assist you in gaining this long lasting memories while in Nepal tour.
