Nagarkot: -
There are various places around the edge of the Kathmandu valley which offer great mountain views, but the resort village of Nagarkot is generally held to be the best. Mountain watchers make their way up to the village; stay overnight in one of Nagarkot’s lodges or hotels that rise at dawn to see the sun appear over the Himalaya. Nagarkot is the popular tourist resort of Nepal which is situated 32 kms east of Kathmandu at an altitude of 2175m above the see level. The panorama of the major peaks of eastern Nepal Himalayas including Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) can be seen from here.

Chobhar: -
En-route to Dakshinkali, situated 9-kms south-west of Kathmandu, this place is famous for its gorge, said to have been cut by the god Manjushri to drain the water from the Kathmandu Valley which was at that time a lake. There is a small but picturesque temple of Adinath on the top of a hill. From this point one has a superb view of snow-clad mountain peaks.

Daman: -
Daman is situated about 80 kms southwest of Kathmandu valley at an altitude of 2400m. above the sea level. It is located on the Tribhuwan Highway.

Namo Buddha: -
Situated on a hill just above Panauti valley is an authentic Buddhist shrine which the indigenous Newars call ‘Namra Bhagawan.’ The Stupa is highly worshipped by Nepalese Buddhists and Tibetan Buddhists.
