A Taiwanese first time travel to Nepal
This is my first time visiting Nepal. This travel agency gave me a good travel experience. The service staff are professional and friendly, and they can communicate with tourists in the best way for any problem. I am from Taiwan. If there are Taiwanese people coming to Nepal for the first time, I would recommend this travel agency first!

Nagarkot was awesome!
Fulvio and Eileen from Australia! We had an absolute fantastic time. Tours were well organised which was refreshing to experience and the team knowledgeable and accommodated our requests. Will definitely be using them again when we return next year!

I am glad that i signed...
I am glad that i signed up for this tour, the sunrise was sureal (despite the freezing cold weather) and the hike was the best part- passing through villages, it was calming and amazing birds eye view. Highly recommended, also, make sure have some cash for the tip (for guide and driver).

Highly recommend!
Himalayan Abode did so much to make our trip special. After using their services for the sunrise and day hike, we came back and asked for the city tour as well because we liked them so much. All the staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. If you want to better understand Nepali history, people and culture, we highly recommend them!

Why this scores 73

Nagarkot (2175m) Sunrise and Day Hike to Changunarayan Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Nagarkot (2175m) Sunrise and Day Hike to Changunarayan Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nagarkot (2175m) Sunrise and Day Hike to Changunarayan Temple take?
+
Plan for about 32 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Nagarkot (2175m) Sunrise and Day Hike to Changunarayan Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nagarkot (2175m) Sunrise and Day Hike to Changunarayan Temple?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nagarkot (2175m) Sunrise and Day Hike to Changunarayan Temple suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 32-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Nagarkot (2175m) Sunrise and Day Hike to Changunarayan Temple?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 32-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nagarkot (2175m) Sunrise and Day Hike to Changunarayan Temple start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
