With eye-captivating mountain views with stunning sunrise, have breakfast at Nagarkot, then start hiking towards Changunarayan through the traditional villages.

After around a half an hour's walk inside the forest, the hiking route leads through a hill ridge, from where the beautiful view of Kathmandu valley and snow-capped mountains can be seen. The hike ends in Changunarayan, and then drives back to Kathmandu after exploring the UNESCO world heritage site Changu Narayan temple.
