This is a fantastic trek when time is limited. The itinerary is varied and just right, and my amazing guide Shishir was super knowledgeable and I felt really safe the whole time. They put me up in a wonderful hotel in Nagarkot with a perfect view of the entire Himalayan mountain range from the roof top. Seeing the Himalayas at sunset was a highlight, as was walking through villages and woodlands on the way there and back again. Really good value for money and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Nice and peaceful trekking across Nepalese villages. Got to see many beautiful farms up and down to Nagarkot. The view from the hotel View Point is amazing, visibility was as a little foggy, yet a great sightseeing. Tourist guide, Anant was very kind and share many stories about Nepalese culture, religion and traditions. It’s a great short trekking for those who enjoy the outdoors and want to feel the experience of hiking in Nepal, without much time.

Nargarkot is a real quiet little town where you can escape the crazy of Kathmandu. If you’re lucky you can see the whole himalaya from the top. The guide Shishir was great. Definitely worth a visit.

Best thing to do in 36 hours in Kathmandu. Scenery is epic and Shishir is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I’ve never taken so many pics in two days! Highly recommended

Mountain views, fresh air, birds’ song. My super guide Shishir, the great hike from Nagarkot to Nepal’s oldest hindu temple. People, dogs, pigs, goats, buffalos, cows, cats. Life in the hills with bad roads. But so happy people!
