Paragliding & Parasailing

Tandem paragliding is offered from the Nagarkot ridge, with the takeoff at Lapsiphedi at about 1,905 metres and flights of 15 to 30 minutes tracking the Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang and Jugal ranges. Expect to pay around USD 100 for a morning slot. This is a small, weather-dependent operation that does not run continuously, and Nepal's established paragliding base is Sarangkot in Pok (Read More)hara, so confirm an operator is flying before planning a trip around it.

Hiking

The path from Nagarkot down to Changu Narayan drops about eight hundred metres over four hours, through pine and terraced fields and a string of Tamang villages, and it ends at the oldest temple still standing in the Kathmandu Valley. Most people walk it downhill from Nagarkot and take a jeep back from Changu. It is the one hike here that finishes at something rather than at a viewpoint.

7. Trek The Ridge To Dhulikhel

11 km from city center

Hiking

This is the long one: six to seven hours south along the valley rim, past Nala and Banepa, finishing at Dhulikhel on the other side. The Himalaya stay in view for most of it when the weather allows, and the walking is mostly gentle ridge rather than climbing. You will want to stay the night at the far end rather than turn around, which is what separates it from everything else on this list.
