Nagarkot

The place not to be missed in a life-time.

It was around 5 pm when we reached Nagarkot. Ecstatic beauty and cool mountain breeze of the hill resort welcomed us. It was like landing above the 'valley of the clouds'. We could see the golden coloured Langtang Himalayan range adorned with silver lining of clouds.

For your reference, Nagarkot- a hill resort village located 32 km east of Kathmandu, Nepal and at an elevation of 2,195 meters, is an international tourist destination with spectacular views of the whole Langtang Himalayan range, sunrise on the mountains and sunset views. We can see the panoramic views of the captivating landscapes and hills with the Kathmandu valley. It is renowned for its sunrise view of the snow-topped peaks of the Himalayan range of eastern Nepal. Many people go up to Nagarkot in the afternoon, stay in a hotel in Nagarkot, and then get up at dawn to see the Himalaya Mountains during the sunrise. There is a lookout tower south of the village where you can get a 360º view of the scenery.

We had couples of snaps and went towards The Hotel "At The End of the Universe"; booked complete flat of the top floor for four of us. We had a pleasant evening. Next day, got up early at around 5:30 am had many snaps of magnificent landscapes and snow-covered mountains. By the time, we were taking breakfast at around 7:30 am, entire resort town was covered by the misty clouds. I was willing to stay over for one more day, but had to leave the place as two of our friends had to take early morning flight to Delhi.

While returning, we could see the picturesque view of Kathmandu valley. I have a plan to be there again probably with my family. Friends, please you also make a plan to be in this heavenly place. You will get a life time of experience.
