Daulikhel is a popular place to observe the high Himalaya, and the views easily compete withNagarkot. From the edge of the ridge, a stunning panorama of peaks unfolds, from
Langtang Lirung in the east, through Dorje Lakpa to the huge bulk of
Gauri Shankar and nearby Melungtse (7181m) and as far as Numbur (5945m)
in the east.
Dhulikhel has one big advantage
over Nagarkot – it’s a real Newari town, with a temple-lined village
square and a life outside of exposing tourists to the views.

seen from Dhuklikhel must be one of the finest panoramic views in the
world. When a blue haze covers the lower portion of the mountains, they

backdrop, Dhulikhel is a stage of immense beauty and a paradise for
nature lovers. Green inviting hills of which still virgin and some
turned into beautifully carved agricultural terraces cater to the

mountains and further into the snow-capped Himalayas. The panorama
