Itinerary of your trip Shivapuri National Park Hike - Day Hike
- Day 1 Day 1: Drive And Start Hike.
Day 1: Drive And Start Hike.
Start and end in Kathmandu with the Shivapuri National Park Hike โ Day Hike! This 1-day tour package takes you through Kathmandu and Shivapuri National Park, including an expert guide, meals, and transport.
Shivapuri National Park is the closest national park to Kathmandu and is renowned for its rich biodiversity. Itโs the second highest hill near the Kathmandu Valley and offers a delightful short adventure close to the capital. The park is home to over 500 species of flora and fauna, and the hike leads you to Baghdwar, the source of the holy Bagmati River, which is believed to flow from the mouth of a tiger.
Your day begins with breakfast at your hotel, followed by a 20-minute drive to Budhanilkantha Temple, located 8 km north of Kathmandu. After exploring this temple, you will hike through the Shivapuri conservation area. Youโll pass the Nepal Army check post at the southern boundary, ensuring the parkโs security. Continue to Nagi Gumpa, a monastery situated at an altitude of 2,330 meters, north of Kathmandu and above Budhanilkantha Temple. This monastery is known for its Buddhist nuns and is a peaceful spot for meditation.
Following lunch and some time to enjoy the monastery and surrounding vegetation, youโll take a short downhill trail to Kopan. After about two hours of hiking, youโll return to Kathmandu with happy memories of your day.
We will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am and return you around 3:00-4:00 pm after the trip. Private transport and an English-speaking, experienced hiking guide will be provided. Please bring some water and light snacks for the hike, as there are no lunch facilities along the trail. Tipping for the driver and guide is appreciated but optional.
