Escape the bustle of Kathmandu and hike through the serene trails of Nagarjun Forest to Jamacho Monastery. Begin your day with a hotel pickup and drive to Fulbari Gate, the entrance to Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. After checking in with your park permit, follow a peaceful uphill trail through pine and rhododendron forest.
As you ascend, enjoy the sounds of birds, occasional monkey sightings, and cool forest air. After 2–3 hours of walking, reach the summit at 2,128 meters where the sacred Jamacho Monastery awaits.
