The drive to Nagarkot from Kathmandu airport is long and with traffic - it becomes hard. Distance is not much, but the amount of time and the quality of the city roads is also a factor. Once near the hills after Bhaktapur it will start easing. The hills are not too winding, but you can feel the temperature getting cooler as the height increases. This property is little way off from the main road, but they have full parking for large and small vehicles. The reception is decent and it leads into their sitting area with a bar and sofas, and from there it leads to the main deck with outdoor seating. Before getting to the main deck - there are stairs leading to the restaurant, where the meals are served. Behind the reception, the stairs lead to a beautiful Buddha statue and pond and fountain. Very nicely done. The rooms are decent sized with balconies are facing the forested valley. Very serene and peaceful. When we reached in the evening, there was smoke in the air as there was a forest fire at a distant and the smoke subsided before the sunrise next morning. It was beautiful sight to see the orange hue, then the sun rising slowly with it's changing colors. This sunrise is very different from the other mountain sun rises that we have seen. Food quality was good at dinner, and same for the morning breakfast. Staff was courteous and polite.
Very Good
