You can take the Bishnu Dwar forest walk or the Shivapuri hike with lunch. Each one is a full outing with a guide, park entry, and hotel pickup. 📋 Key Details The day: About 7 hours, or 6.5 hours with lunch Ages: 6 and up Pickup: Your Kathmandu hotel Park: Shivapuri Nagarjun, entry included Lunch: Included on the 6.5-hour hike 🥾 What to Expect Two forest days share the same park and the same Kathmandu hotel pickup. An English-speaking guide meets you, drives to the gate, and buys the park ticket so you can start walking without sorting entry yourself. The Bishnu Dwar walk is about seven hours, with five to six hours on the trail and around 18 kilometres toward the source of the Bagmati and Bishnumati. Meals are not included on this option, so bring a packed lunch and at least two litres of water. The Shivapuri hike is about six and a half hours, with lunch, a private vehicle, and a high point of 2,732 metres. It is set up for families and first-time walkers. On a clear morning the hills can open toward Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, and Gaurishankar before we drive you back to the hotel. 📍 Location Shivapuri National Park sits about 12 kilometres north of central Kathmandu, covering 159 square kilometres of forest on the valley rim. Birds, butterflies, and deer use these woods, and the Bagmati and Bishnumati begin here. Pickup is from hotels inside the Kathmandu ring road. The drive to the gate is short, so most of the day is walking rather than sitting in traffic. ✅ Prerequisites You need to be 6 or older. You do not need previous hiking experience. You should be happy walking for several hours on forest paths. These hikes are not recommended if you have a back or heart condition, or if you are pregnant. Wear light walking shoes and tell us about any medical or dietary needs before you come. 💛 Why Choose Us Forest days leave from the same Lazimpat office that has sent English-speaking guides across the valley for two decades. We'll collect you from your Kathmandu hotel, stay with your group at the gate, and bring you home. Park tickets, water stops, and the return drive sit with one desk. You will not be left to find the entrance on your own. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Professional hiking guide National park entry Hotel pickup and drop-off inside Kathmandu Private transfer Lunch on the Shivapuri hiking tour ### What’s not included Meals on the Bishnu Dwar hike Drinks Tips Travel insurance Hiking poles unless you bring your own ### Kit list Light walking shoes Daypack At least two litres of water Packed lunch on the Bishnu Dwar hike Sun hat and sunscreen Rain layer ## FAQs ### Which hike can I book? You can book the Bishnu Dwar hike or the Shivapuri hiking tour. Each one is a full day in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park with a guide and hotel pickup in Kathmandu. Choose the hike you want when you book. We'll confirm the start time and your hotel name the day before. ### Where do we meet? We'll collect you from your hotel inside the Kathmandu ring road. Have the hotel name ready when you book. Pickup outside the ring road is available for an extra charge. We'll bring you back to the same hotel at the end of the day. ### How long is the day? The Bishnu Dwar hike is about seven hours, with five to six hours of walking and around 18 kilometres on the trail. The Shivapuri hiking tour is about six and a half hours, with lunch included. Both days start from Kathmandu in the morning. ### Is lunch included? Lunch is included on the Shivapuri hiking tour. The Bishnu Dwar hike does not include meals, so bring a packed lunch, fruit, and at least two litres of water. Tell us about any dietary needs when you book the tour that includes lunch. ### How hard is the walking? Both days are graded easy. You walk on forest paths inside the national park. The Shivapuri hiking tour is aimed at families and first-time walkers. You should be happy on uneven ground and ready for a full morning on your feet. Walking poles are useful if you have them. ### How high do we go? Shivapuri is one of the high hills on the Kathmandu rim. The hiking tour lists the high point at 2,732 metres. The Bishnu Dwar hike stays in the same park, where the Bagmati and Bishnumati rivers begin. Take the climbs steadily and drink water often. ### What should I bring? Wear light walking shoes and bring a daypack, sun hat, sunscreen, and a rain layer. Carry at least two litres of water. On the Bishnu Dwar hike pack your own lunch. A hiking stick is optional. We'll provide the guide and the park ticket. ### Can children come? The minimum age is 6. The Shivapuri hiking tour is set up for families and beginners. Children should be used to a few hours of walking. Infants cannot use a stroller on these trails. ### Is this a good day for birdwatching? Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park holds a long bird list, including several threatened species, plus deer, wild boar, and, on quiet days, signs of leopard or Himalayan black bear. Bring binoculars if you have them. We'll walk at a pace that leaves time to stop in the forest. ### What happens if I have a back or heart condition? These hikes are not recommended if you have a back or heart condition, or if you are pregnant. Please tell us about any medical needs when you book so we can advise before the morning start. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fbf7d59d-dc64-493a-8817-6881b1541fb2.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
