The short answer
Several views are reachable by road or cable car. Sarangkot and Nagarkot have road access, Chandragiri has a cable car from near Kathmandu, Daman has a tower reached by road, and Kakani is a short drive from the capital. Pokhara's Peace Pagoda can be reached by boat and a short walk.
Choose morning for clarity. Check the weather, since clouds can hide the view. Some paths have steps, so ask about mobility access.
