With beautiful views of the Langtang Himalayas, mesmerizing nature, and a panoramic sight of the Kathmandu Valley, Shivapuri Hiking is one of the best hikes around Kathmandu Valley. The hike explores the northwest hill in the premise of the Shivapuri Nagarjuna National Park.
A steady walk through the meandering pathways reveals the abundant biodiversity of the national park along with a cultural exploration at the Shivapuri hilltop. The Himalayas and ravishing sceneries are the cherries on the top as the hike treads through the easiest trail to Kathmandu.
Shivapuri Hiking starts off early in the morning with a 30-minute ride to Nagi Gumba. At the Gumba, we obtain a permit to enter the Shivapuri National Park. During the permit process, you can utilize your time by exploring the beautiful architecture of the monastery.
The hiking starts from the government protected area, the Shivapuri National Park. The national park is home to more than 500 species of animals. With fresh air, the chirping of birds, and squeaks of a diverse range of wildlife, the hike continues along the tranquil rhododendron forests.
The Shivapuri hill at an elevation of 2732 meters offers clear panoramic views of the Langtang range.
