Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park
About Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park
A forested national park on the valley's northern rim, established in 2002 and named after Shivapuri Peak at 2,732m. Day hikes climb through the forest to the peak or to Nagi Gompa nunnery, with views of the Himalaya on clear days, and it's also good for birdwatching. Foreigners pay an entry fee at the gate; go with a guide or in company rather than hiking entirely alone.
