Embark on an exciting journey from Muwan Pokhari to the top of Shivpuri in a day-long trek that offers a mix of nature, culture, and stunning views of the Kathmandu Valley. As you climb the Shivapuri Range, you’ll discover the beauty of Shivapuri National Park, home to an impressive 600 bird species. This trek isn’t just a nice walk; it also helps protect the national park and its plants and animals.
During your trek, make sure to visit Nagi Ani Gompa, a peaceful monastery in the hills. Enjoy the changing scenery and panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley as you continue your journey. When you reach the top of Shivapuri, take in the breathtaking scenery and explore the lush environment, appreciating the efforts to conserve this natural haven. A highlight of the trek is the amazing view of the Bagmati River, where “Bagh” means tiger and “Mati” means river, representing the origin of the Bagmati River that flows by the sacred Pashupatinath Temple. This full-day adventure, spanning 6-8 hours, promises a refreshing experience from start to finish, starting at the impressive Budhanilkantha Temple, housing Nepal’s largest idol of Lord Vishnu. The Muwan Pokhari to Shivapuri Hill trek is more than just a walk; it’s a deep dive into the diverse wonders of Nepal.
