Most of the tourist wants to enjoy their holiday being near to the nature and life style of people of that particular destination. Nepal being one of the best preferred destinations for visitors, it has got so many trekking and hiking trails. On the demand and curiosity of lots of visitors who have short holidays, we came to manage this hiking program which is the shortest and near to capital city.

After a short drive of 45 minutes (30 Kms.) from Kathmandu you will be there in Nagarkot hill station (2175 m). You can have overnight stay program in Nagarkot so that you can fully enjoy the time spent in Nagarkot. Being near to city it is far from crowd, pollution and road traffic and enjoys full of natural beauty, mountains and Himalayan scenarios. The main point of attraction in Nagarkot is terrific views of Himalayan ranges,. You can see the panoramic view of Himalayas sitting on the chair in the balcony of your room having a cup of coffee on your hand, which is the breath taking moment in your life.

After the best view of sunrise in Himalayan ranges we start our hiking program. Our trek approximately takes 5-6 hours to reach Dhulikhel (1510 m).
