The Nagarkot- Dhulikhel- Namo Buddha- Panauti tour takes you to four different places. Nagarkot (2175 m) is probably the best place to view the Himalayas from the comfort of your hotel balcony. A scenic hike to Dhulikhel a quieter place and observing the high Himalayas add the extra thrill. The trail to Namo Buddha offers an ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture and a night stay in Monastery, dinner with a monk, and meditation can be a lifetime memory. A legendary village Panauti has some ancient temples that have stood the test of time partly because of Panauti’s legendary resistance to earthquakes. Panauti was a major trading center with its royal palace.
