One of the most popular viewing points for locals, the Single Tree Hill has my favorite views in all of Kathmandu. Just as its name mentions, the viewpoint is marked by a single tree on top of one of the best viewpoints in the city. From there, the vastness of the Kathmandu Valley can truly be appreciated on one side, while the other side offers some beautiful mountains views of the surrounding areas. Single Tree Hill is not far from the Monkey Temple, and it can be walked from Thamel in about between an hour and half to two hours. While the hike up can be somewhat demanding (and dusty) at times, the views are sure not to disappoint. There is a small kiosk on top offering small snacks and water, as well as many small shops along the way in the event you get hungry during the climb or on the way down.

Good place for a light to moderate hiking or cycling. A little steep gradient for less than 5 minutes, so it's a easy one for beginners or novice riders as well. But once you get there, it's worth all the effort. The swings at the site will be fun for kids if you are planning to take kids along, obviously on a vehicle. A small ride and a morning breakfast is all you need, then this place is heaven, and if you are a beginner rider or hiker then this place will give lots of positive motivation.

This place is good to get some fresh air and see the valley. But its better to go in weekdays coz the crowd is too much in weekends

The place was crowded when we reached there on weekend day Saturday. There is no proper parking facility here. Please note that there is no entrance and parking to disable and children and old aged friendly. You have to climb steep long length ladder to reach top spot. There are no benches managed to stay. You are to wait on your foot for your turn to swing. There is also no public toilet. You have to go and stay in hotel to wait your turn in the hotel being constructed here. There is barrier steel bars but not seem adequate in terms of safety. Anyone visiting here should concern about safety first by themselves because the management seem busy in making money. Any way the view of kathmandu valley is magnificient. You can see the concrete forest from the height. The sunset view on the other side of the hill is also fabulous and awesome.

It is a hilltop with a tree on top. So it is called a single tree due to a large tree on the top. Around 4 swings are there to swing with the background of sceneric of Kathmandu Valley. It is one the way to Ichangu from swayambhu chowk. Around 100 steps are required to ascend to reach this spot from a nearby road. The view of Kathmandu is amazing. The photographs and videography of swinging are the USP of this spot. The swings are provided on chargable basis. The main aim of visitors is to take photos /Videos while swinging. It is a good option to hike from Swayambhu to this spot. The approach road and parking are the major hurdles of this spot.

amazing place...view from that place is totally lit👌 location: little far from soyambunath temple

Seeing all the Kathmandu Valley so good and the fresh air is awesome 👌 like to go on the top of the view point and spend some time there. Really some foreign come and see the Valley and lots of domestics tourists came and swing its really nice and new place for explored. So cool to see lots of view.

Nothing special just like name 1 big tree is their. You can view the valley from this place and take few good pictures of nature and greenery and crowded capital city of Nepal. There are few swinging boards were installed to swing from the top.

There isn't much.. Just swing, glass bridge and a restraunt. But the view was great. Woulg probably suggest other places.. But good for adventure.

You can see whole Kathmandu city from top there. Food also available there. Kathmundu resort also there. You can order and eat as outsiders. You can sky walk on glass floor.

Amazing view of kathmandu valley, place gets crowded during holiday. For four whelers, there is place for parking below single tree, charge is Rs 80, and then walk of 3 mins with sharp ascend on staircase or else there are couple of restaurants where you can park and capture the view.

Local view of kathmandu including swyambhu.. Great view with soft wind..

Best place for those people who want some fresh air and some peace time with themselves.A Quiet place with stunning View of Kathmandu Valley. Hidden Gem inside Kathmandu Valley

Perfect view of the valley .loved the night view during the festival of lights . The swing the glass bridge everything were awsome you guys should definately give it a try

Place is great but hotels and services like photography, swing is very very expensive. They act like lootera

Quite a good place with wonderful views. Small walk (steep) to reach the spot. The road access is quite horrible and do not recommend driving into car (unless you are expert driver). Car park is not available, only small place available for parking motorcycle. Two swing rides are available both amazing. Cafes and restaurants available.

Awesome place to hang out and chill. Entry is free but particularly takes a fee for swings extra. 300/500/150 Etc

Mesmerizing place to visit but things to arrange to make this place appreciable and attractive both outsider tourist and valley tourist. We hope waiting for suitable time for glowing the place with beauties. Good luck.

Lovely place. Awesome view. Interesting activities to do with friends. The cafe is overpriced though. - Reviewed by NeoSree. Look for "NeoSree Stories" on YouTube/Insta/FB/TikTok/Twitter for short-form travel/infotainment videos.

It's amazing place to visit it has access for private vehicle also and have to walk for 30min while using public transportation get off at syambhunath at opposite side of syambhunath there is way to single tree hill

Located near Swayambhu, at the foot of the Nagarjun forest in Kathmandu. Single Tree Hill has a single tree at the top of a hill. And swings near to it. From where you can see the view of Kathmandu. There can be long queue for the swings on Saturdays

Really nice view and peace place.

One of the best viewing points, the Single Tree Hill has amazing views in all of Kathmandu. The light of city looks amazing in night time. It is not to far from Monkey temple, it will take around 10-20 minutes on bike. The place is also famous for swings.

If you want to see Kathmandu valley, hearts will fall down by swinging in the swing walking on the mirror above the hill.nice restaurants to feed after collection a heart ❤️ part of the joke 🤣 seriously please go once to live your life for the day 🙏

STRICT NO NO. Not my type of place. crowd gathered just to play swing and make tiktoks. This place is the perfect example of when you become tiktok celeb and cant handle the fame. Very Poor service, the crowd of people you would not at all like in a place where you have come for enjoying the view. the Swing and the skywalk all covers the viewpoint and you cant even enjoy the silence because of overcrowding. SERVICE WORSE, FOOD WORST. Very Expensive for what it serves.

Located near Swayambhu, at the foot of the Nagarjun forest in Kathmandu, Single Tree Hill is a teeny tiny hill that offers a splendid panoramic view over the capital city. It is the perfect place to watch the sunrise or sunset. Not many tourists (nor expats) know about this spot as no travel guidebooks mention it and you won’t find much information in English on internet neither; tourists usually flock to Swayambhu hill to enjoy a panoramic view of Kathmandu. Don’t get me wrong, Swayambhu is one of the greatest places to visit in Kathmandu. But there are other (and better) places when it comes to see the best views over Kathmandu. It will take a bit of climb to get to the viewpoint. The steep stairs up to the top lead you to the one of the finest views over Kathmandu. The views are stunning, with all of Kathmandu spread out below you and the rolling green hills of Nagarjun on the backdrop. Make sure to head up there for the sunset, especially when the city lights shine at night. It is a very popular spot among local youngsters so don’t be surprised to see many people shooting TikTok videos at the top. Single Tree Hill is an easy hike from Swayambhu (some people will even tell you that it isn’t a hike at all, just a walk!). It is accessible to anyone (including children!) with a good pair of shoes. Initially, Single Tree Hill was just that: a single tree atop of a hill. However, now, there is a small shop selling snacks and beverages. There is even a hotel restaurant (Kathmandu Sky View Resort) and two swings (like the famous Bali swing). Since this is a new attraction, be forewarned that there is a long queue for the swings on Saturdays (day off for the locals). Important Note: Unfortunately, it is very sad to see that some people are still dumping their trash while visiting Single Tree. It is quite disappointing that a spot like this isn’t more preserved by the community or by its visitors. Please keep the nature clean and don’t throw trash. Take all the rubbish with you instead of dropping it in the beautiful nature.

It is awesome place in Nepal. Really a great view of Kathmandu city. Here we enjoy the city Kathmandu covered by the hills touched by sky. And you can sit in a jhula and enjoy.

It is one the popular places located nearby the swayambhunath.There is a single peepal tree only located in this area.So due to it,the place named as single tree.There is two big swing located nearby it.Not only this but also there is two small swing located here by which you can have a beautiful scenario of kathmandu city.In order to play big swing it cost NPR 300 For one person and NPR 500 for two persons.You can have your beautiful photo by the owner of this which costrs NPR 20 per photo.There is a beautiful hotel located nearby the tree too.

Nice view point to enjoy KTM valley. Road isn’t very great. Lot of gantang guntung. View and swing is worth though. Tip: don’t go on weekends.

One can have majestic view of Kathmandu valley from here. Some greenery to eyes too.

Great place to visit.

Good place for morning walk, hiking and friends hangout.

The view of the city is overwhelming. Good local supply
