The Fort is located in Nagarkot on the ancient trade route to Tibet. It has been a place to see the sunrise right from the peak of the Mount Everest since ancient times. Kings and Magarajas came here to enjoy their summer resorts for the spectacular view of the Himalayas.
Nagarkot had been a fort since the Licchavi 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.
