Nepal, famously known as the land of the Himalayas, is truly a treasure chest for hiking holidays and vacations. Offering an intriguing view of the Himalayas, the Nagarkot - Dhulikhel - Namo Buddha Hike is one of the shortest trekking routes in the midst of the Himalayas. If you don't have time for a long trek that takes you to Himalayan foothills, and would not spend time to travel long, Nagarkot - Dhulikhel - Namobuddha, 3 nights / 4 days hike is perfect for you to at least get a window of villages, forests, and Himalayan scenery of Nepal, although distant.
The Nagarkot - Dhulikhel - Namo Buddha hike starts at Nagarkot after a 27 km ride to Nagarkot. Nagarkot is famous for its spectacular, uninterrupted views of the Eastern Himalayas.

The splendid sunrise and sunset of Nagarkot is viewed as one of its main attractions and local tourists throng to Nagarkot .

And lastly, we are scheduled to visit the religious site of Namobuddha where tourists generally prefer carrying out meditation and yoga activities and then experience your last night at our affiliated property Baseri Farmstay and Retreat.
