    Mesmerizing sunset view in Nagarkot

    The trip was really amazing, the sunset view in Nagarkot was mesmerizing. We went to Bhaktapur and Nagarkot aftter arriving back from pokhara. The scenic drive to Pokhara from Kathmandu was fantastic. We enjoyed exploring various landscapes, beautiful villages, farm terraces, and hustle and bustle of the natives. Evening walk in Lakeside was peaceful, everything was well managed and the teams of Shepherd Holidays are very friendly, helpful and informative. Had a memorable experience.
