What to expect

Your guide picks you up from your hotel and drives you to Budhanilkantha, at the gate of Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park on the northern edge of the Kathmandu Valley. Near the gate, see the large reclining statue of Lord Vishnu at Budhanilkantha Temple.

Enter the national park and hike uphill on a forest trail through oak, pine and rhododendron, where you may see monkeys and many kinds of birds. After about 2 hours, reach Nagi Gompa, a peaceful Buddhist nunnery on the hillside with views over the city and, on a clear day, the Himalayas to the north. Rest and enjoy the quiet atmosphere before walking back down to the gate and driving to your hotel.

The hike is moderate, with some steep sections. Wear good walking shoes and bring water and a light jacket.
