About this trip
What is the Sunrise Heritage Tour?
This 6-day tour is built around Himalayan sunrises at Nagarkot and Sarangkot, with Kathmandu Valley heritage in between. You see living temples, durbar squares, and Pokhara's lake setting without a Chitwan or trek commitment. Holiday Maker Nepal sequences drives so you are in position for dawn, not rushing from a late flight.
