Early in the morning, after breakfast, we set out to Bhaktapur, one of the medieval principalities of the Kathmandu Valley. We will spend a couple of hours through Durbar Square, the temples and streets to explore the hidden secrets of Bhakatpur. From Bhaktapur we head northeast to Nagarkot on an excellent and quiet tarmac road. After a 20 kilometer gradual climb through terraced fields and village dwellings we will finally reach the top of Nagarkot, offering magnificent views of the Himalayas. Overnight stay.

After enjoying the glorious sunrise view, the day begins with an exciting descent by single-track trail.

We continue downhill along the winding tarmac road to Bhaktapur. After lunch on Bhaktapur Durbar Square, we ride back to Kathmandu through Thimi, the ancient Newari village.
