      The walk to Nagarkot is not worth it. Most of the time the walk is along a road, and only at the end the walk will be among trees. Changu Narayan tought is worth it. It is a must-go.

      Fabulous views. First part of the walk brilliant but got a little tedious towards the end. half day would have been better.
