You'll see

Nagarjun Hill is one of the closest and most refreshing escapes from Kathmandu City Centre, just a 10-minute drive from Thamel. Nestled inside Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, this hidden gem offers a peaceful forest trail, fresh mountain air, and a secure hiking experience close to the city. The hike covers around 8 KM round trip and takes about 3–4 hours at a comfortable pace. From the summit, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking 360° views of the Kathmandu Valley and clear Himalayan ranges on bright days.

With easy access, beautiful scenery, and a calm natural setting, Nagarjun Hill is perfect for beginners, families, or anyone with limited time in Kathmandu. Except for the monsoon season, it’s suitable almost all year round — a short yet truly rewarding Himalayan experience just minutes away from the city.
