Commence the trip early in the morning and reach before sunrise at the point. It is the eastern ridge of Kathmandu Valley that stands at 2170m from Sea level, 32 km away from the center of Kathmandu and lies in Bhaktapur District. However, the tourist awe-spring landmark renders the stunning sunrise and sunset views over the great Himalayas, probably one of the closest viewpoints of Mt. Everest from Kathmandu.
