Undoubtedly our favorite place in Nepal on this trip was Nagarkot, a little village about 30 km northeast of Kathmandu. The village owes its existence to its strategic location, where you can have the best view of the Himalayas without having to leave the Kathmandu valley. The most desirable hotels here are the ones perched along the peaks, where the view of the mountains is unobstructed. Tourists tend to make a 1 to 2-day stop here for the sunrise. We stayed for 3 nights to recover from the stress of Kathmandu. Unfortunately for us, all three of those days were cloudy and hazy.
For 60 US dollars a night the hotel throws in a breakfast buffet, which includes a staple of fried potatoes, sauteed vegetables, sausages, toast, pancakes, and an omelet bar. The fare is a small step above what you might find at Denny's but we were glad to have a break from the ubiquitous local meal of curry.
