Shivapuri hill (2,563m) is the second-highest hill near Kathmandu valley surrounded by Shivapuri national park. It is an ideal place to refresh our mind and body in an eco-friendly environment, completely out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Shivapuri Hill Hiking Tour starts with 20 minutes' drive to Budanilkantha temple. Budanilkantha is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to God Vishnu. The further walking steps bring us to the entrance of the national park. Then, enjoy a full walk inside the national park as it eventually takes us to Nagi Gompa (2,340m) and then to Shivapuri hill. Nagi Gompa is famous as a quiet meditation and Buddhist center. The Shivapuri hill offers us the scenic view of the entire Kathmandu valley. Entertain the local flora, fauna, breathtaking landscapes and magnificent view of central Himalayas.
