Shivapuri Trekking

Overview

Shivapuri at an elevation 2732m. offers excellent views of the Himalayas off to the west from Jugal and Ganesh Himal out to Himalchuli and eastwards from Langtang to Dorje Lapka and of course intense rhododendron blossoms in spring.

It lies within the Shivapuri Watershed and wildlife reserve; a huge walled area set aside to protect the valley's water supply and critical forests. The trek starts from Budhanilkantha through the forest and the summit on the flat grassy appears on the second day of the trek. Then the trek goes through the forest and superb mountain views to the north and valley rim down.

Finally, the trek goes to Nagarkot where a night is a must to view the wonderful sunrise over the Himalaya in the next morning. After breakfast drive to Bhaktapur a Newari town and lunch here. After lunch drive back to Kathmandu.
