[closed] - Tourists Visiting Ancient Saline Terraces in Andes Peru")
I am visiting Kathmandu in October and wondering if I should stay in Themel or Nagarkot.
- Themel is more touristy and has more hotels.
- Nagarkot is a bit far, but is more unspoiled.
I would prefer to stay in Nagarkot, but need to know how much extra time/driving I will need to stay in Nagarkot.
Best Answer
Nagarkot sits up in the hills surrounding Kathmandu, about 25 kilometers away. You would be looking at an hour to an hour & a half on average to downtown Kathmandu (maybe more during peak traffic times).

Answer 2
An hour's drive from downtown-Kathmandu to Nagarkot is worth the time. Nagarkot provides picturesque views of sunrise and sunset (in a good weather condition); scenery of the unblocked Himalayan range and panoramic views along the way. I definitely would have taken Nagarkot tour.
And by the way, it's Thamel; not Themel. No offense.
