Does the earlier option sound too heavy for your pocket? Here, I have the cheapest option. Nagarkot, 27 kilometers from Kathmandu is a famous tourist hill for the Panorama View of Himalayas. Don’t miss the sunrise view that makes the mountain glitter. Though the place is far from Mt. Everest and only a small portion of it could be seen, it’s among the best place to capture a glimpse from the capital.

Nagarkot has the best hotels in the town to spend a day and is a peaceful and calm place to stay.

Chandragiri Hill

Chandragiri Hills, the recent vogue among Nepalese tourist, is a very famous tourist destination. You can drive up to the hill or get a cable car ride to get a small glimpse of the Everest from the hilltop. Before you proceed for the hill make sure the sky is clear and the mountain is visible. And the early morning tour would be best to capture a glimpse of the mountain.

Although the Everest doesn’t appear clear and distinct (only a small portion of Everest is visible), you can enjoy the Panorama view of other many Himalayas from the Chandragiri hill.

  1. Hi Shobita,

    I am flying to India in May or June and and my fiancé and I plan on a trip to Nepal
    Only for 4 or 5 days.
    I’d love to see the Himalayas and get a view of Everest.
    Monasteries, lakes, mountains.

    Any suggestions?
