The resorts
At the altitude of over 7,000 ft and
facing 200 miles of unobstructed views
of the Himalayas is The Fort Resort
and Retreat. The Fort provides twenty-five
resort rooms, four independent retreat
cottages, conference hall, sauna, and
restaurant with continental, Chinese,
Indian, and Nepali food. The property
has its own organic vegetable garden
which is the largest in Nagarkot. Also,
it has a reading room that is in the
process to be turned into the library
for both the guests' and staffs' benefit.
The Fort is located in Nagarkot on
the ancient trade route to Tibet. It
has been a place to see the sun rise
right from the peak of the Mt. Everest
since ancient times. Kings and Maharajas
came here to enjoy their summer resorts
for the spectacular view of the Himalayas.
Nagarkot had been a fort since the
Lichhive period and had its own tax
and immigration regulations. As a matter
of fact, the first European, Father
Grueber and Dorville, who entered Nepal
in 1661 were received here in Nagarkot
by King Pratap Malla.
The
Resort offers comfortable accommodation
in 20 double rooms in the main building
including six suite units and 9 rooms
in individual cottages.
