What to do
A classic two-day ridge trek from Sundarijal through Shivapuri forest to Chisapani village, then continuing along the valley rim to Nagarkot with Himalayan views for the entire second day. Entry permit: Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park fee — NPR 100 Nepali / NPR 600 SAARC / NPR 1,000 foreign, paid at the main gate. No TIMS required.
Drop 700 vertical metres on two wheels — start at Nagarkot tower (2,175 m), pick up the singletrack that threads through terraced farmland and pine forest, and bomb all the way down through Bhaktapur's outer villages to the valley floor. One of the classic mountain bike descents in Nepal with a sealed road option back.
Overnight at a ridge-top resort and wake before dawn to watch the sun light up the Himalayan range — on clear autumn mornings you can see eight of the world's highest peaks including Everest.
Experience the thrill of flying over the pine forests of Nagarkot on Nepal's longest zipline. Launching from 2,174m, you glide for nearly 2km with the entire Himalayan range as your backdrop.
