A peaceful day hike through forest trails, sacred temples, and serene Himalayan views—just outside Kathmandu. Escape the city for a gentle, soul-soothing hike through Shivapuri National Park, starting at the sacred Budhanilkantha Temple and winding up to the peaceful Nagi Gompa, a Buddhist nunnery tucked into the hills.
Breathe in the pine-scented air, hear birdsong in the trees, and take time to reflect at one of Nepal’s most peaceful spiritual hideaways. This experience is perfect for nature lovers, spiritual seekers, and slow travellers looking to reconnect—with nature and with themselves.
