Moreover, it is also a paradise for those who love to see birds. The Shivapuri (2732 m) is the second-highest hill station in the Kathmandu valley after Phulchowki.

On the way to Shivapuri peak, there is a place called Baghdwar. This is the source of Holy River Bagmati flowing nearby holy pilgrimage site and temple of Pashupatinath. From the top of Shivapuri peak, the travelers may sight Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Manaslu, Mt. Ganesh, Mt. Langtang Lirung, Mt. Langtang Ri, Mt. Gaurishankar with Ganjala Peak, Dorje Lakpa among others. After the completion of our hike, the travelers may choose to explore Budhanilkantha temple and drive back to their respective hotels.
