描述
Embark on a day hike to Shivapuri National Park, the second highest peak surrounding the Kathmandu Valley. Discover the park's natural forest types, including pine, oak, and rhododendron.
Discover the Shivapuri National Park, the second-highest peak among the hills surrounding the Kathmandu Valley. Explore the park's diverse flora and fauna, and enjoy breathtaking views of the high Himalayas and the Kathmandu Valley.
The Shivapuri National Park is a paradise for bird watchers and home to 177 species of birds, 19 species of mammals, and 150 species of butterflies, some of which are endemic and rare. The park is located in a transition zone between subtropical and temperate climates and is home to various natural forest types including pine, oak, and rhododendron.
The park is easily accessible from Kathmandu and is a popular trekking destination. Trekking routes to Nagarkot, Gosaikunda, Helambu, and Langtang National Park also pass through the park.
Several religious sites for Hindus and Buddhists lie inside the park. On Nepalese New Year's Day, pilgrims from Kathmandu Valley and neighboring areas flock to Baghdwar and Bishnudwar of the park, from where the sacred rivers Bagmati and Bishnumatii originate.
Visitors can have breathtaking views of the high Himalayas from the northern aspects of the park. Likewise, the panoramic views of Kathmandu Valley could be seen from the southern slopes of the park.
