Nagarkot Dhulikhel Cycling Tour- The Best Short Cycling Tour in Nepal

Trip Overview

The Nagarkot Dhulikhel Cycling Tour is a beautiful country-side tour of Nepal’s city-periphery. It presents amazing aspects of the country’s rural areas that are decorated with the beauty of natural environments. As you make your way through the lush tracks into the mostly-pastoral terrain that spreads across city-circumferences, you will be blessed with the tranquil nature of the village-life and wonderfully verdant surroundings. Correspondingly, it is quite difficult to feel rejuvenated in the city being surrounded by the noise and the vehicles. But the Cycling Tour into the tame wilderness outside the cities is a perfect respite to enjoy and uplift the spirit. Make your way into the popular destinations of Nepal that are quite easily accessible from the capital. Enjoy the natural beauty of the lush woodlands and hilly terrains outside the city. Rejuvenate your senses with the fresh natural provinces of Nepal’s hilly enclaves.

One of the major highlights of the Nagarkot Dhulikhel Cycling Tour is the hill station of Nagarkot. A former royal retreat for the royal family of the country, Nagarkot is of the most popular hiking destination in Nepal that is situated near Kathmandu. It is a beautiful destination that is blessed with the beauty of an unsullied nature and the natural painting of the country’s Himalayan tapestry. As you cycle through the tracks at Nagarkot, you will be in the company of the distant Himalayas that can be seen from here. Moreover, the view-tower at Nagarkot is most famous for its sunrise and sunset views amidst the mountain peaks. Along with the natural beauty, you will be peddling along amazing Himalayan shadows that decorate the faraway vista.

Likewise, Dhulikhel is another feature of the Cycling Tour. As you meander your way to Dhulikhel on your bike, you will be greeted by an amazing Himalayan panorama that unfolds from the edges of the Dhulikhel hill. Peddling through the verdant scenery, you will constantly be in the company of prominent mountain peaks like the Langtang Lirung, the Dorje Lakpa, Gaurisankar and the Melungtse among many others. You can also enjoy Dhulikhel’s Newari ambiance as you cycle along the temple-lined streets of the village. As such, the Nagarkot Dhulikhel Cycling Tour is a perfect blend of the natural beauty that the hill enclaves of Nepal possess along with the cultural and religious riches that it beholds. It is also a great way to enjoy the distant views of the mountains in a very quaint setting.
