Sunrise tour
We did the Nagarot sunrise tour. Many thanks to Birodh, who was a great tour guide. Very easy going and knowledgeable about the local flora and culture. Would recommend if you’re looking for a chill day trip out of Kathmandu

Getting to know Nagarkot
After my trip in upper Himalayas in the Everest region, we wanted to do a smaller, more relaxed trip around kathmandu. We stumbled upon Outfitter Nepal, with one of their guides, Birodh. It was such a great way to explore the outskirts of Kathmandu especially because of the knowledge Birodh shared to us about the landscape and Nepalese culture. I highly recommend this trip!

I've received a great experience!
I want to thank company Outfitter Nepal for my "Nagarkot Sunrise and Hike" day tour. Starting from organizational moments from Russia and to the end - all was very organized, they replied promptly and very constructive. When I was choosing my tour it turned out that many companies do not organize tours for one person, but what I should do if I travel alone?) Outfiter Nepal without any hesitates agreed to organize Tour only for me. And though I wasn't lucky to see sunrise due to the weather conditions, I've anyway obtained the day full of positive emotions and nice views further during the hiking. Big thanks to my guide - Birodh - very positive person and interesting interlocutor. He made a great contribution to the overall impression of my day. Other time I in Nepal - I will definitely go to a new Tour with your company

Nagarkot Sunrise and Hike with Outfitter Nepal
My husband and I recently enjoyed a sunrise viewing of the Himalayas from Nagarkot, a village in the hills surrounding the Kathmandu Valley. After setting off pre-dawn from Kathmandu with our guide Birodh Burlakoti from Outfitter Nepal, we arrived at Nagarkot after a drive of an hour or so. After a warming cup of Nepali coffee we ascended to the viewing area and were rewarded with spectacular views of the Himalayas. Mount Everest was clearly visible. After breakfast at a nearby hotel we hiked for several hours through villages, observing the local people going about their daily activities. Our hike concluded at the ancient Changunarayan temple. Thanks to Birodh for sharing your knowledge of local culture and flora and for your great company.
Response from the operator: Dear Jill C, thank you for your excellent review in trip adviser in trip adviser and it is great to know that you have great tour in Nepal and tour to the Nagarkot! I wish to have great days head and wish to arrange your tour in Nepal again in future.

Nagarkot Sunrise and Hike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Nagarkot Sunrise and Hike cost?
+
Prices start at $94 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 Sunrise and Hike take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Sunrise and Hike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 Sunrise and Hike?
+
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 Sunrise and Hike suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nagarkot Sunrise and Hike?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nagarkot Sunrise and Hike 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 Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. 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.

Not included: Breakfast and Lunch; Tips for the guide and driver ( Recommended); and Entrance fee to visit Nagarkot and Chagunarayan Temple ( Approx- 800.00 NPR per person).

Does Nagarkot Sunrise and Hike include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Kathmandu. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Nagarkot Sunrise and Hike offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Nagarkot Sunrise and Hike?
+
