Nuwakot
Nepal Travel Destination
The town of Nuwakot is an old fortress that used to be an important strategic outpost. From here the ancient trade routes to Tibet could be closely watched. The kings of a medieval Nepal maintained large garrisons here.
Besides it being a historical military post for the kings,
Nuwakot possesses a number of artistic buildings its hilltop which would remind a local traveling to the area of Nepal's traditional architecture that originated from the Kathmandu Valley.
The town offers terrific views of the mountains and the surrounding rural villages. The palace of Nuwakot was once one of the palaces of the great King Prithvi Narayan Shah, who conquered Nuwakot before conquering the Kathmandu Valley. (You can read more abou King Prithvi Narayan Shah on our Kathmandu Valley page under "history")
For those wishing to travel here, there are regular bus services to Trishuli from Kathmandu. To reach the hilltop where Nuwakot sits, can be reached with a 30 minute jeep ride. You can also take a short one hour trek to the top of the hill.

Testimonials
We came to Nepal with nothing but a guidebook. We left with memories of an experience that changed our lives forever. Avia Tours & Travels is simply the BEST. They understood our concerns, our time frame and made coming to Nepal so easy! We saw everything and more than we hoped for all for a lot less than we expected to pay. The ultralight flight was priceless!
Thank You Avia Tours!

Simply OUTSTANDING!!! I wouldn't think twice about whom to use if planning another trip to Nepal. Avia Tours provided a truly memorable program that others simply didn't offer. Our trip went smooth, and the time we had in Nepal wouldn't be the same without them.

What to say? Thanks for being human! Two e-mails and an airplane flight is all it took to have a truly custom program developed specifically for us and our intrests; not some stamped out product.. Just a great service at a great price.
Thank You!!!
