About Nagarkot
Panoramic views of five Himalayan peaks including Everest stretch across the horizon at sunrise from this ridge-top village. Nagarkot sits 2,175 metres above sea level; the sky here burns with impossible colours at dawn. Hotels and teahouses cling to the ridge; prayer flags flutter between them.
