Cho Oyu (8,188m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), and Mt. Annapurna (8,091m). There are around 1,310 peaks above 6,000m including Mt. Fishtail (6,693m) as the highest virgin peak.

Imagine clicking photographs, at close quarters, the snow-capped Himalayan peaks of Nepal. If it sounds like you, our Himalayan Sunrise Tour is definitely the tour program for you. This is a great program to witness the best sunrise view in the world for your memorable Nepal visit. You can find numerous vantage points for gorgeous sunrise view of the snowcapped peaks and diverse terrains.

Himalayan Sunrise tour takes you to three separate places for the long-lasting sunrise and sunset views. The first one is a mountain flight, the second one is from Nagarkot and the third one is, you guessed it right, Sarangkot. The scenic mountain flight to Everest region is the best for having aerial view of the Great Himalayas. During this helicopter tour in Nepal, you have the majestic views of the snowy peaks between Manaslu and Kanchenjunga region.

Apart from the glittering mountains, you enjoy the in-flight view of the dense forests, lush valleys and amazing landscapes. Flight over Everest facilitates you with the best panoramic view of the Sherpa Capital, Namche Bazaar and other settlement areas. The dense oak, pine and rhododendron forests are equally rewarding in this trip. Everest Base Camp trek takes nearly 3 weeks by walking along the rugged trail. Everest mountain flight takes only an hour to have the close up view of the region.

Sarangkot is the number one viewpoint in Pokhara. Nagarkot sunrise view tour includes sightseeing of cultural and artistic heritage of Kathmandu Valley. This program is also for you if you want a short but mesmerizing trip in Nepal. Sarangkot is a famous tourist destination near the Lake City Pokhara. It is the launch site for adventurous sports like paragliding, hot air ballooning, zip flying, etc.

Nagarkot Sunrise view trek takes you to the closest touristic destination from the Kathmandu Valley. You can go there after visiting Bhaktapur Durbar Sqaure, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can visit many historical, cultural and religious sites located around the socio-cultural site. You also get to enjoy the mysterious culture of Kathmandu, and have close-up views of the greatest mountain range on Earth.

You will enjoy this trip as it is close to the city, yet it takes you to vantage points that are totally detached from the noise and crowd of the city – in a couple of pristine mornings. This Himalayan Sunrise Tour from Orbit Alpine Adventure is ideal for everyone, and especially recommended in winter.
