Shivapuri Hiking

Shivapuri Hiking offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, peaceful forest trails, and panoramic Himalayan views—all just a short drive from the city. The trail lies within Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, a protected area rich in biodiversity, waterfalls, and spiritual sites.

The hike usually starts from Budhanilkantha and gradually ascends through dense oak, rhododendron, and pine forests. Along the way, hikers can enjoy birdsong, fresh mountain air, and occasional sightings of wildlife such as monkeys and deer.

At the summit or viewpoint areas, you are rewarded with stunning views of the Kathmandu Valley and, on clear days, distant Himalayan ranges including Langtang.
