Cool place

It is a dense, lush green and well preserved national park which is protected for watershed and wildlife reserve. Well secured by the Nepal Army and people have to pay an entrance fees to get inside. There are some resorts, restaurants etc. closed to park area that provides a great opportunity to visitors to enjoy fully. A must to visit place and enjoy hiking, forest fun, great flora and fauna and if lucky enough chances to some animals as well.

This is the place where you can go and take a great day and adventure time with nature👍🇳🇵❤️

Shivapuri National Park is well known for its natural beauty. It has a number of trails for 1-3 days hiking and trekking. Shivapuri also contains some historical places including Bagdwar, Todke Baba Ashram and many more.

Absolutely beautiful It's about half hour hike upwards from bagdwar Tinchuli hill is also just nearby

Perfect hike trail with waterfalls and steep uphill routes. The view of Kathmandu valley is really unlike any you've seen so far. It's just amazing.

It's the best to place for hiking near Kathmandu. I highly recommend it!

Core memories 💚

Wonderful hiking.

Best for short hike..you can go either Baagdwar or Bishnudwar, or Danda Gaun or Nagi Gumba....but i don't suggest for Danda Gau....also you can visit Chisini waterfall from that route. going to Chisini Waterfall, you have to visit Bishnudwar and walking further for 30 mins or little more, you can visit Chisini Waterfall

Best place for hiking

Such a lovely view

Great place can be reached in short hike.. but the hikers do not bring their trash back thus getting polluted. No dustbins as well. Please bring your trash back.

Pristine oasis of natural beauty and tranquility, offering a soul-soothing escape into the heart of nature.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Awesome nature

Good place to visit in valley but only go there with better planning and ask once to whom who has more knowledge.. where to visit in … you might miss the best part there

Dense green ...preserved national park...wildlife reserve ...natural beauty...secured by Nepal Army...go visit and enjoy the real nature

The place to go to avoid the traffic and pollution of crowded Kathmandu Valley. Its peaceful, clean and lovely sight to see. You can go for a hike with friends or just for chilling. The place is easily accessible via private vehicles or public too. You aren't allowed to night stay inside the park. Also please, keep the place as it is, clean and fresh. 🙂

Very good place for short hikes,close and very beautiful

Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park (SNNP) is situated on the north side of Kathmandu valley. The park headquarters is located in Panimuhan village of ChapaliBhadrakati VDC of Kathmandu district. The headquarters is 12 kilometers away from Kathmandu downtown. SNNP has three sector offices viz. Manichur, Dhakalchaur, and Nagarjuna. SNNP was established in 2002 AD. The park is demarcated by stone and brick walls.

A really great and peaceful place for hike. The place, the road is amazing. Dont forget to try out the ice-cream from the ice-cream parlor that you will be seeing on the way. You have to pay the fee worth Rs. 100 to enter the park where you will be questioned few questions and the bag checking will also be done by the army. On the way, you will have options to explore, either directly to the national park or to bishnudwar and other places. Just make sure to properly watch some of the vlogs before going to the other hike places inside shivapuri. The ways are unmarked which can make complications and deviations of which way to follow to reach the destination. Overall, you will have a lots of fun and place is worth visiting with a bunch of friends or colleagues.

Bike, hike and Nature.

The Nagi gumba in shivapuri is an amazing place to go! The view there and the calm environment is just mesmerizing!

I had 3 days trekking here. Accommodations was weak and sceneries was not eye catching.

Good for hiking and biking

Best for hiking one day from Kathmandu
