We had an amazing visit to Nagarkot and a peaceful overnight stay Hotel Mystic Mountain. The hotel was serene and had a magnificent view even though it was obstructed at times by the mist. The hotel was cozy and the food was delicious and the stay was therefore ideal for us to relax and rest after ABC trek. On the following day, we visited Bhaktapur. We had a friendly, knowledgeable guide for the visit. He explained even minute details about Nepali architecture and made the visit even more purposeful. We are glad to have this visit and overnight stay in our itinerary after the ABC trek, to relax and take a moment for ourselves! Special thanks to Mr. Kunjan for thoughtfully suggesting this for our itinerary and arranging everything for our convenience. We highly recommend KJ Adventure!

That was a great experience to have a Changu Nagarkot private excursion with KJ Adventure. Very nice, experienced and responsible tour guides of KJ Adventure, especially thanks for the owner, Kunjan, who deeply concerned our needs and arranged the best for us. It was really a memorable and amazing trip. Next time to Napel, KJ Adventure would be my best choice.

If you are looking for hiking experience near Kathmandu, Nagarkot is the perfect choice. It is a 1-star trial with excellent views. You can feel relaxed in fresh air. You will be hiking with friendly and experienced guide which is thoughtful in our two days trip. Kunjan, who owned the agency, had arranged a great hotel for us. You may see snow Peak if you are lucky to have clear sky. It is a great choice if you planning to have a getaway in Kathmandu. I recommend this agency too if you need other travel advice in Nepal.
