Located on the northern border of the Kathmandu Valley, Shivapuri Peak is a bit of an energetic days hike in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. The good thing about hiking here is that there are multiple options – whether to hike for 2, 3 hours or for an entire day. It is ideal for people visiting Nepal who cannot go for long treks.

 

Highlights

• Informative, friendly and professional guide

About the tour

To begin the hike we will drive from Kathmandu to the entrance of the park.  We will pass by a few local restaurants, shops and small houses, and then the trial leads to the steep ascent past a couple of waterfalls and on up the mountain.

During the hike, we can see herds of goats scattered here and there. The homes here are roughly built from stones and plaster. We can see breathtaking views of Kathmandu Valley from here – which is the main purpose of this trip. .
