Shivapuri Day Hiking is a popular outdoor activity in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, offering a refreshing escape into nature for both locals and tourists. Shivapuri is a hill located to the north of Kathmandu and is part of the Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park.

During the hike, participants may encounter diverse flora and fauna native to the region. The trail passes through pine and oak forests, offering a serene and peaceful environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city. As hikers ascend, they are rewarded with panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley, the surrounding hills, and, on clear days, the majestic Himalayan mountain range.

It's a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, allowing participants to connect with nature while enjoying a day outdoors. Additionally, some trails lead to the Shivapuri Peak, providing a more challenging option for those seeking a higher vantage point and a more strenuous trekking experience.
