About this spot

The Panimuhan–Nagi Gumba–Baghdwar–Shivapuri Peak route is a rewarding full-day hike for friends seeking forest trails, monastery stops and wide Himalayan views close to Kathmandu. The trail lies inside Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park; official park information lists this as an established route and requires visitors to obtain entry permits and use a guide. Current official guidance also prohibits walking between sunset and sunrise, so start early and leave enough time to descend in daylight. Carry water, lunch, rain protection and a small first-aid kit, wear grippy hiking shoes and keep the group together. Trail conditions, entry fees and guide rules can change, so confirm them at the Panimuhan gate before setting out. Photo: Alexey Komarov / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0.
