Shivapuri Peak Day Hike

A classic Kathmandu Valley day hike. Climb stone stairs through lush national-park forest to Shivapuri Peak (~2,732 m), pausing at Nagi Gompa nunnery for prayer flags and quiet views. Expect roughly 5–6 hours of walking, park entry permits, and Himalayan glimpses on clear days. Ideal before or after a multi-day trek when you want altitude legs without overnight lodges.
