Trip Overview
Nagarjun hiking is best for those people who have very little time but want to get a closer experience with nature and want to be far away from the hustling and bustling of the city. It is a single day hike starting from Balaju and ending at Nagarjuna hill (2128m), 7 km east of the city. The well made trail climbs on steps at first gradually winds through the thick forest. The Nagarjuna hiking trail can be covered by motor bike or cars too which takes approx. 45 minutes.
The well preserved Nagarjuna forest lies in the Shivapuri National Park. It got its name as Nagarjuna because of the sage Nagarjuna who had resided in a cave there to meditate. Due to its serene and peaceful environment people come for the Nagarjuna to medidate and feel the peace state of mind. Budha stupas, ancient caves and Jamacho view point are the main attraction points.
From Jamacho we can have the spectacular view of the Manasalu, Ganesh and Langtang range. Also the view of whole Kathmandu valley, Swambhu stupa and Buddhist shrines and monasteries of Nuwakot can be seen from the top of Nagarjuna Hill.
