Kathmandu - Shivapuri Day Hike with Lunch Short and Easy Hike to Bishnudwar with Lunch

Shivapuri National Park hiking is a perfect one day trip near Kathmandu to experience the Manaslu, Ganesh & Langtang Himalayan range as well as enjoy panoramic view of nature around Kathmandu valley.
The Shivapuri National park is one of the main water resources for the citizens of Kathmandu and is also home to thousands of flora and fauna. 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. The location and the height of the hill itself are perfect points to sight the Manaslu, Langtang and Ganesh Himalayan range. The hike itself however, is a challenging walk due to its ascent as there are many steps on the way to the top of Shivapuri peak.

The trip begins after we pick our travelers from their respective hotels and transfer to Muhan Pokhari. It marks the start point of our hike and is a little further away from Budhanilkantha temple. 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.

As you continue through the forest, enjoy scenic viewpoints overlooking Kathmandu Valley, surrounding hills, and distant Himalayan landscapes on clear days. Throughout the journey, your guide will share stories about local culture, nature conservation, and the significance of the national park to nearby communities.
