Watch sunrise over the Himalayas, then hike through Nepalese villages to Changu Narayan on this private Kathmandu day trip.
“Great hike through rural ethnic villages that farm and raise animals chickens, goats etc. The chances of a clear sunrise view are only 50/50 so don’t go just for that. We didn’t get a view of the Himalayas only a red ball of the sun. But the hike was wonderful, long but not overly difficult, and wonderful people, animals and villages along the way capped off by a UNESCO World Heritage Site temple with wonderful souvenirs abounding. A great follow up to my city tour of Kathmandu sites the previous day.”
