Wonderful view of the mountains.
The view of the Himalayas depends on the weather. The day we went the weather was good. We had a really great view of the mountains. Our guide was able to point out various peaks, including Everest.
The second half of the tour was interesting. Our guide was good and very friendly. We are glad we took the tour.

Nagarkot Sunrise
The weather was beautiful and the mountains were clear. Durbar Square in Bhaktapur is huge. Earthquake damage prevented us from seeing some buildings. This tour was pricey, but it was a good experience.
