Nagarkot - Changu Narayan Trek

The impressive Kathmandu Valley has thousands of hiking opportunities for all tastes and physical states. You can trek for several days or do short stretches between towns with fantastic landscapes. An option is the short route from Nagarkot to Changu Narayan. I left Bhaktapur, where I was staying, in a very cheap taxi and in 20 minutes was in Nagarkot. This town is at high altitude and has spectacular mountain views that close the Kathmandu Valley. Nagarkot has always been the summer residence of the Kathamandu wealthy, so there's more to do than admire stunning 5-star hotels and snowy mountains that cut the horizon.
