Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park

I went here with a couple of my friends a few months ago. This place is absolutely beautiful. I loved hiking here — even though we got lost and ended up walking along a road for two hours. The scenery is breathtaking. It’s quiet, it’s green, and it’s peaceful.

Shivapuri Nagarjun is an undervalued gem. It isn't a "walk in the park"—it’s a genuine mountain hike right on the city's doorstep. If you want to sweat out the city pollution and earn a spectacular view, this is the perfect Saturday trip.

Had an amazing time at Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. The hike was refreshing, the air felt clean, and the views were absolutely stunning, one of those places where you just stop and take it all in. I genuinely enjoyed every moment. But one thing really broke my heart: seeing trash scattered along some parts of the trail. A place this beautiful deserves respect. It’s such a small effort to carry our waste back or speak up to others who litter, and it makes a huge difference. If we all stay a bit more mindful, Shivapuri can remain the peaceful, breathtaking escape it’s meant to be. Highly recommend visiting and taking care of it.

If you're looking to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with nature, Shivpuri–Nagarjuna National Park is a hidden gem just outside Kathmandu. The trails are peaceful yet invigorating — surrounded by dense forests, chirping birds, and the occasional monkey crossing your path. The hike offers a mix of spiritual and physical energy. Whether you're trekking toward Bagdwar (source of the Bagmati River) or exploring the Nagarjuna side with its hilltop viewpoints, the serenity is unmatched. On clear days, you can even catch glimpses of the Himalayas peeking through the clouds! The air is fresh, the paths are mostly clean, and the atmosphere feels sacred. Ideal for hikers, meditation lovers, bird watchers, or anyone just wanting a quiet day in the wild. Don’t forget to carry water, snacks, and a respectful attitude — the park is a protected area and deserves care. I even did some stone stacking along the trail — a small tribute to balance and nature. 📍 Truly heart, sweat, and soul poured into every step.

Stunning! Tourists have to take a guide which does make it a little more expensive but still worth it. You can't be there after dark so start early.l
