A one-day hike from Nagarkot to Changu Narayan with UNESCO temple history and a Nepali lunch, plus sweeping Himalayan views.

“Amazing tour with Ram! Ram was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a lot of historical background throughout the tour. Unfortunately the sky was not clear for sunrise but the hike was great - you will get a glimpse into the rural life of local Nepalese people and see some amazing sites along the way. Changunarayan was an incredible point to finish the hike. We were also able to add in a tour of Bhaktapur for a small fee at the end. 100% recommend!”
