The Kathmandu Nagarkot Tour Package 3 Nights 4 Days is the most complete Nepal experience for Indian travellers who want more than just the city. This itinerary takes you from the living heritage of Kathmandu - its UNESCO-listed stupas, Hindu temples, and royal squares - through the medieval streets of Bhaktapur, and up to Nagarkot, where the eastern Himalayas reveal themselves at sunrise in one of the most breathtaking natural spectacles accessible from any city in South Asia.
Nagarkot sits at 2,195 metres on the rim of the Kathmandu Valley, and on clear mornings it offers a panoramic view of over 20 Himalayan peaks - including Everest, Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, and Chobha Bhamare. The sunrise from Nagarkot is not just a photo opportunity. It is the kind of moment that stays with Indian travellers long after the trip ends. This is why the Nagarkot sunrise tour package from Kathmandu has become one of the most searched Nepal itineraries among Indian families, honeymooners, and group travellers.
TriptoOcean's Kathmandu Nagarkot tour package cost for Indians 2026 starts at ₹6,700 per person for groups of 20 or more (3-star, B&B), covering 3 nights accommodation split between Kathmandu and Nagarkot, daily breakfast, private AC vehicle for all transfers and sightseeing, welcome drink on arrival, and all applicable government taxes. The itinerary covers six major heritage sites including Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Jal Narayan, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square -more UNESCO World Heritage coverage in four days than any comparable Nepal tour package from India.
Arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), Kathmandu. A TriptoOcean representative will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a name board. You will be assisted with baggage and transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu in a private air-conditioned vehicle.
On arrival at the hotel, enjoy a welcome drink and check in to your room. The rest of the afternoon is free to rest and settle in. Your TriptoOcean representative will give you a brief orientation on the 4-day itinerary, tips for Nagarkot sunrise timing, and key local information.
In the evening, step out and explore Thamel - Kathmandu's legendary traveller hub, packed with bookshops, rooftop cafes, Pashmina shops, handicraft stores, and live music venues. You may visit nearby casinos and clubs at your own expense.

After breakfast, begin your full-day private guided sightseeing tour of Kathmandu's six most iconic heritage sites. All transfers in your private AC vehicle.
One of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Boudhanath is the heart of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. The enormous white dome draped in colourful prayer flags and painted with the all-seeing eyes of the Buddha draws pilgrims and travellers from across the globe. Walk the circumambulation path clockwise, spinning the brass prayer wheels, and experience an atmosphere unlike anywhere else on Earth.
One of the most sacred Hindu temples in the world, Pashupatinath stands on the banks of the holy Bagmati River and is dedicated to Lord Shiva as Pashupati - the Lord of All Living Beings. The riverbank ghats are an active site of Hindu spiritual life, including open-air cremation ceremonies that offer a deeply honest encounter with Hindu tradition. The inner sanctum is for Hindu devotees; the surrounding complex and ghats are open to all.
Perched on a hilltop in west Kathmandu, Swayambhunath is one of Nepal's oldest and holiest Buddhist sites - a 2,500-year-old stupa whose golden spire is crowned with the omniscient eyes of the Buddha. Climb 365 stone steps to the top (one for each day of the year) past resident rhesus monkeys for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Kathmandu Valley.
The ancient royal palace complex of the Kathmandu kings, Kathmandu Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising palaces, courtyards, and over 50 temples built between the 12th and 18th centuries. Visit the Kumari Ghar (living goddess's residence) and the Hanuman Dhoka palace museum. The square remains a living centre of religious and social life.
A colossal 5-metre stone statue of Lord Vishnu reclining in cosmic sleep on the multi-headed serpent Ananta - Jal Narayan is carved from a single black stone dating to the 7th century and is considered Nepal's finest example of ancient stone craftsmanship. Daily devotees offer prayers at this remarkable open-air temple.
The former royal palace of Nepal, now open to visitors as a museum. Narayanhiti Palace Museum offers a rare glimpse into the life of Nepal's Shah dynasty - its ornate reception halls, royal armoury, and the rooms where the tragic 2001 royal massacre occurred. A significant historical site for anyone interested in Nepal's modern history.
Overnight: Hotel in Kathmandu | Meals: Breakfast + Dinner (MAP) or Breakfast only (CP)
After breakfast, check out from your Kathmandu hotel and begin the drive towards Nagarkot. En route, make a significant stop at Bhaktapur Durbar Square - one of Nepal's finest medieval cities.
Bhaktapur is often considered the most beautifully preserved medieval city in Nepal. Its Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site showcasing the pinnacle of Malla period architecture - the 55-Window Palace with its intricately carved lattice windows, the soaring five-storey Nyatapola Temple (the tallest pagoda in Nepal), the Golden Gate with its gilded torana, and a labyrinth of brick courtyards that have remained virtually unchanged for 600 years. Plan at least 1.5 hours here - Bhaktapur rewards those who walk slowly.
Continue the drive up to Nagarkot (2,195m), perched on the eastern rim of the Kathmandu Valley. As you ascend, the valley opens out behind you and the mountain range gradually reveals itself ahead. Arrive at your Nagarkot hotel in time for the late afternoon mountain views - on clear days, you can see more than 20 Himalayan peaks from the hotel terrace, including Everest's distant crown.
Spend the evening watching the last light fade over the Himalayas. The mountain silhouettes against a darkening sky from Nagarkot are something Indian travellers consistently describe as the highlight of their Nepal trip.

Wake up early - around 5:30–6:00 AM - for the Nagarkot sunrise. This is what the extra night is for. On a clear morning, the eastern Himalayas emerge from darkness in stages - first a faint glow, then pink, orange, and gold as the sun catches the ice-covered summits one by one. Peaks visible from Nagarkot on a clear day include Mount Everest (8,849m), Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Chobha Bhamare, and Gauri Shankar - more than 20 Himalayan peaks in a single panoramic sweep.
After the sunrise and breakfast at the hotel, check out and transfer back to Kathmandu. En route or on arrival in Kathmandu, use any remaining time for last-minute shopping in Thamel - Pashmina shawls, singing bowls, thangka paintings, saffron, and Himalayan teas are popular picks for Indian visitors.
At the appropriate time before your departure flight, a TriptoOcean representative will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport in a private AC vehicle for your onward journey. End of services.

Yes - on clear days, Mount Everest is visible from Nagarkot, appearing as a distant but unmistakable peak among the eastern Himalayan range. The best months for clear Everest views from Nagarkot are October-November (post-monsoon, sharpest visibility) and March-April (spring, generally clear). During monsoon (June-August), cloud cover frequently obscures the mountains. Nagarkot offers panoramic views of over 20 Himalayan peaks on clear mornings, making the sunrise experience one of the most memorable in Nepal for Indian travellers.
Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the medieval city of Bhaktapur - widely considered Nepal's best-preserved ancient city. It showcases the peak of Malla dynasty architecture: the 55-Window Palace, the five-storey Nyatapola Temple (the tallest pagoda in Nepal), the Golden Gate, and dozens of intricate courtyards. We include it on Day 3 because it falls directly en route from Kathmandu to Nagarkot, making it a natural and efficient stop. It adds a completely different character to the itinerary - away from Kathmandu's urban energy, Bhaktapur feels like stepping into medieval Nepal.
The 2N/3D Kathmandu package covers the city's major sites - Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, Durbar Square, and Jal Narayan. The 3N/4D Kathmandu Nagarkot package includes all of those plus two major additions: Bhaktapur Durbar Square (the most beautifully preserved medieval city in Nepal, on the drive to Nagarkot) and one full night in Nagarkot with the Himalaya sunrise experience. The extra night and day is specifically designed for Indian travellers who want their Nepal trip to include a genuine Himalaya encounter without committing to a full trek.
Yes, this Nepal tour package for Indians is available year-round. The best months are September-November (post-monsoon, clear mountain views, crisp weather) and March-May (spring, pleasant temperatures and festivals). These seasons offer the highest chance of clear Himalaya visibility from Nagarkot. The monsoon (June-August) is still travelable for Kathmandu sightseeing but mountain views at Nagarkot may be limited by cloud cover. High season surcharges apply during Christmas, Diwali, New Year, and peak festival periods. Book early for October and November - these dates fill up fast.
Yes. Group joining is available on TriptoOcean's Kathmandu Nagarkot departures. Solo Indian travellers and small groups (even 2 pax) can join a scheduled group departure. Contact TriptoOcean via WhatsApp (+91 8209951350) or the enquiry form on this page to check available group joining dates. Solo travellers: a single-pax surcharge is applicable - please enquire for the exact amount based on your preferred travel dates and hotel category.
No. Indian nationals do not require a visa to enter Nepal. A valid Indian Passport or Voter ID Card is sufficient. Aadhaar Card is NOT accepted as a travel document for Nepal. Children under 16 must carry both an original Birth Certificate and School Identity Card in hard copy.

Yes. The Everest Mountain Flight - a 1-hour scenic flight over the Himalayas from Kathmandu domestic airport, offering views of Everest, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga, and more than 20 Himalayan peaks - can be added at ₹11,000 per person including airport transfer. This is ideal for Indian travellers who want close aerial views of Everest without doing the 12-day EBC trek. The flight departs early morning and is weather-dependent. Contact TripToOcean to add this to your Kathmandu Nagarkot booking.
