Shivapuri National Park Hike is one of the best hikes near Kathmandu Valley. It can be a day hike—just visit Shivpuri Peak—or multi-day hiking to Chisapani and Nagarkot. Conveniently close to Kathmandu, Shivapuri is the latest national park in Nepal. It is situated on the northern rim of the Kathmandu Valley; the streams that emanate from here provide fresh drinking water for a major portion of the inhabitants of the valley. This is just 25 kilometers from the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. Shivapuri National Park is one of the few national parks within a nation's capital, and it is the youngest national park in Nepal. Shivapuri National Park Hike is perfect for those traveling with small children or who suffer from altitude sickness but still want a trekking experience. Shivapuri National Park Hiking is also known as a valley ride, a short and easy trek. It is a stroll that combines nature diversity, cultures, incredible bird watching, impressive photographic opportunities, and time to relax. Shivapuri Trek offers 180-degree beautiful views of the western mountain stretching from the far western Annapurna Range to Everest in the east.
Shivapuri Hiking, also known as Kathmandu Valley Ride Trek, takes you through the typical Nepalese countryside and exposes you to the various ethnic groups of Nepal. It is an ideal trek for those with limited time and a desire to see a lot of the Kathmandu Valley. Mostly, the trek goes through the undisturbed thick oak forest; if you are lucky, you may come across spotted deer, monkeys, and jackals on the trail. During the whole year, this trek is good for bird-watching routes, as about 200 different species of birds make this region their permanent home.
Shivapuri National Park Hiking begins at the holy shrine of Buddhanilkantha (sleeping Vishnu), and we ascend the Shivapuri Peak (2,732 m), passing a renowned Buddhist monastery, “Nagi Gumba (1,985 m),” Baghdwar (2,514 m), the origin of the sacred Bagmati River, Shivapuri Baba Asharam, and enjoy a panoramic view including Mt. Everest in the east and Annapurna Range west in a clear day, and Langtang, Ganesh Himal, Mt. Dorjeelakpa, Mt. Shisapangma, Mt. Gaurishankar, and the mighty Manaslu. Again, you have amazing views when in Chisapani and Nagarkot, a popular viewpoint for sunrise and sunset and beautiful river scenery.
The trail goes through the typical villages while walking from Nagarkot to Changunarayan (1,541 m), said to be the oldest temple in the Kathmandu Valley and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then we take a private car/bus for a sightseeing tour in Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
