Sankhu – Nagarkot hiking is one of the most popular hiking from Kathmandu Valley where, you can enjoy traditional Newari culture and breathtaking views of the high Himalayan range (Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Ganesh, and many more high peaks). Our trek starts in the morning after having breakfast at the hotel and driving to Sankhu which takes a 1-hour drive from the hotel (17 km). We start our hike from Sankhu, the traditional Newari culture village. We hike for just about 3-4 hours through the jungle and some villages on the way. After walking with a guide we reached Nagarkot View Point where we spent some time with nature and tea/coffee from 2100m. Then we drive back to the hotel which takes approximately one hour and thirty minutes However, on the way you can also visit Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
