Hiking is always good for those who like to walk for the entire day. It's popular among both youths and adults. One famous short day hiking route in Nepal is from Sankhu to Nagarkot. Sankhu is in eastern part of Kathmandu while Nagarkot is a hill across two hills from Sankhu. You can go to Sankhu by bus and then the adventure starts. Nagarkot is 2170 meters high and it's a very serene and beautiful place.
It's a bit difficult climbing the hills but one can do it. Sometimes you can go the wrong way leading to local houses and cowshed but it's all very exciting. And finally when you reach there it can be a feeling like that you've reached on the top of the world.
We reached at nearly 2:30 pm in the evening. We had some snacks and started heading towards a tower from where we would have seen the Kathmandu valley and its adjacent districts. But we were running out of time and couldn't risk missing the last bus from Nagarkot to Bhaktapur so we went backwards. We finally reached Nagarkot and took a bus. The sunset from the bus was really amazing. We arrived Bhaktapur at 6 in the evening.
We were in search of some public transport from Bhaktapur to Baneshwor but didn't get any so we decided to take a bus from Kamalbinyak to Gatthaghar. But it was only half the way and it was freezing cold outside. Finally we walked nearly an hour and got a bus from Koteshwor ( it was a great feeling). When i reached home it was nearly 9 then i rushed to my dinner table asked for food and then hooked up to my bed.
I still want to go to that tower and complete my journey to Nagarkot!!!

| we chose the gravel way |
It's about 12 km from Sankhu to Nagarkot. You can get there via there by two routes. One is that you get to Telkot from Sankhu and walk along the road from there. It's nearly about 10 kilometers from there or else you can go the straight way which is graveled and very much adventurous. One can see beautiful scenes of mountains like Gaurishankar, Langtang and the Everest. The sunrise as well as sunset will be a memorable view for most of the people.
