Lonely Planet Review
The Fort Resort is a stylish place built in Newari style on the site of the original kot (fort). It is perched on one of the highest hills on the Nagarkot ridge with one of the country's best Himalayan views from its backyard.
The secluded and peaceful two-storey cottages offer the best value with private balconies, high ceilings and large bathrooms. There's a good restaurant (much of the food comes from the hotel's organic farm) and the four gardeners ensure the lovely garden terrace is always at its peak. Hot water bottles are served up in the winter months and the gardens are so big that there are hiking trails around them. A spa is planned, as are new tower rooms, with excellent corner suites. No matter where you enjoy them from, the views from Dhaulagiri in the west to Mt Everest in the east are simply jaw-dropping. The air is clearest between October and March, which is also the time to bring a warm jumper.
