Kathmandu Valley Hiking Overview

Kathmandu Valley Hiking is ideal for travelers seeking a scenic hike within the foothills of the Himalayas without committing to a multi-day trek. This hike offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural exploration.

The hike begins in the Shivapuri National Park and leads to the Nagi Gumba Monastery, a serene Buddhist monastery for nuns located at an altitude of 1,650 meters. During the hike, our guide will share insights into the unique Hindu and Buddhist significance of the region.

The trek typically lasts two to three hours through the lush Shivapuri Conservation Area. Upon reaching the monastery, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Ganesh Himal and Langtang Himalayas, along with the mesmerizing panorama of the Kathmandu Valley.

The best times to enjoy Kathmandu Valley Hiking are in Spring (March-June) and Autumn (September-November), when weather conditions and visibility are optimal.

We begin our one-day trip from the heart of Thamel and embark on one of the valley’s most popular and accessible hiking trails, leading to the Nagi Gumba Monastery.

Aarohi Holiday is committed to providing you with a memorable and enjoyable hiking experience at the Nagi Gumba Monastery.
