Itinerary

Nagarkot to Dhulikhel Hiking and many other day hiking details are here please choose one from several Kathmandu valley rim day hikes and e-mail us

6 to max. 12 kilometers total hike in a day • Approximately 4 to 6 hours. Nagarkot provides excellent mountain panorama in a clear day. The day hike from Nagarkot to Dhulikhel is mostly downhill through Jungle, village and terrance. During the Nagarkot to Dhulikhel walk, there are very few options for food and water, so we recommend that you carry a bottle of water and some energy snacks with you for the trek. You can drive from Kathmandu to Nagarkot ( we will pick up from your hotel) in the morning and head further Club Himalaya resort. Below this hotel, you will find a small walking trail which cuts across the hillside and takes you towards Rhonnie Bhangyang. The views of the Panchkhal valley to your left are very good and given the clear weather you should get views of the mid Himalayas including Mt.Everest Range. Follow the rugged track until you come to a flat spot of land and couple of farm houses and this will be Rhonnie Bhangyang. Follow the road straight, do not take the left or right turnings. Climb up a short sharp hill and arrive at an intersection with another jeep track. Take the left turn and follow this road along the ridge. After about a kilometer, a small trail on the right takes you down into the next valley. Follow the main jeep track back down into the valley below Nagarkot and you want to keep Nagarkot over your left shoulder. Follow the track steely downhill through the hillside with dotted villages. You are aiming for a vague ridge between two valleys and you will pass through the villages of Kankre and Tanchok, further from Ghimrie geon. From Tanchok, you will meet another main jeep track that you need to follow to your right and uphill for around a kilometer to Tusal. Here you need to head right to the Larsish town of Opi where you cross the main jeep track and head directly to Dhulikhel. The trail meets the Arniko Highway (1) one kilometers from the main town of Dhulikhel, at Himalayan Horizons Hotel. To get into town you need to turn right and head uphill. After having lunch you can come back to Kathmandu. OR You can also end the Nagarkot hike at Nala or Banepa to make it (1) one hour shorter. The trail follows to Ghimire Geoun and it is a wonderful spot to witness the landscapes. We will eventually get back to Kathmandu by car or bus. Nagarkot to Dhulikhel is also for day biking trips.

One-day walk
Picked up and driven to Nagarkot, we then walked 7 km through the mixed landscape ( mostly downhill) to Nala. A great walk with our great guide Gopal. Highly recommend!

Amazing Experience!
Earthbound Expeditions are amazing! My friend and I booked them for a Kathmandu Valley Tour, Nagarkot day hike and off-road downhill biking. Basically, we just gave them our dates and they came up with the itinerary. Their guides are so friendly. They really make sure you're enjoying and comfortable. Worth every dollar!

Amazing Nepal
A big thankyou to Rajan and team for being fantastic hosts for our week in Nepal! Rajan, the owner, was very patient answering all of our questions when we were booking. Everyone was also really helpful and accommodating to anything we needed over the days. They made us feel comfortable throughout our stay, we never felt rushed or pressured to do anything. They were professionals and showed us not only the best of the Nepali sights but also the best of their culture and people. Fantastic driving by Manoosh, educational walks with clear explanations with Sunil (and introducing us to masala tea the 'Nepalese way'!) and a brilliant trek with Gopal from Nagarkot to Nala. A lovely traditional Nepalese dinner to end the trip with truly genuine hosts - Rajan and Sunil. We will be back in Nepal and definitely booking with EE again! :)
