Highlights

The Shivapuri hike offers a brief and leisurely excursion amidst the breathtaking Shivapuri
Nagarjun National Park, nestled near Kathmandu. This scenic hike presents stunning
panoramas of the neighboring villages within the Kathmandu Valley. Situated just 25
kilometers from the capital city, Kathmandu, Shivapuri Village stands as a quintessential
destination resort in Nepal. Despite being near urban life, Shivapuri Village authentically
captures the essence of a traditional Nepalese village, offering visitors a glimpse into both
the tranquility and the splendor of Nepalese hospitality.
Located within the buffer zone of the Shivapuri National Park, one of the rare national parks
situated in a capital city worldwide, Shivapuri Village ensures a memorable stay with a
plethora of activities to engage in. From nature treks and hikes to immersive ethnic village
tours, birdwatching, photography opportunities, or simply unwinding amidst serene
surroundings, there's something for everyone.
Given its location beyond the entrance of Shivapuri National Park, it's advisable for visitors
to spend a night in a hotel in Kathmandu before embarking on their journey to Shivapuri
Village, ensuring ample time to fully enjoy the experience.
