Kathmandu Trip Overview
Introduction to Nagarjun Hiking
Nagarjun Hiking is good for travelers who want to enjoy nature in a short period of time. Around the Kathmandu Valley, Nagarjun Day Hike is an excellent hiking destination located very close to the tourist area of Thamel.
Nagarjun Hiking is short and easy hiking in Nepal, it is also good for tourists who come to visit with children. For those tourists who do not want to go far and high altitudes but still want to experience trekking, this is also for them. Nagarjun Hiking trip is famous in Nepal as it can be easily completed in just 4-5 hours by people of all age groups.
Crossing the forest, you will find oak, bamboo, rhododendron, pine, and some special plants in it. Colorful prayer flags make the route more beautiful. We can’t see the animals while hiking Nagarjun but it is home to many mammals such as Himalayan black bears, wild cats, leopards, and rhesus monkeys.

For Nagarjun Hiking, you can reach the entrance gate after a 30-minute drive from the hotel. At the entrance, you must get a national park permit. After walking for about 2 hours, you reach the top of Nagarjuna hill. The main attraction of this hike is the Jamacho Gumba at an altitude of 2,150 meters. So it is also called Jamacho hiking.
Capture the beautiful view of Kathmandu valley
There is a view tower from where you can have a panoramic view of Kathmandu Valley. You can see not only the Kathmandu Valley but also the magnificent view of the distant Himalayas. Tourists, as well as locals, hike here to spend a beautiful time at the top of Nagarjuna hill. There are no restaurants inside the park so it is best to bring your own packed lunch.
It is a good place for a clean environment and peace. Buddha Stupa, Old Cave, and Jamacho View Point are the main attractions of this hike.

Frequently asked questions about this trip
What is altitude sickness?
Altitude sickness is normally known as acute mountain sickness. This can happen when people rapidly climb up to an altitude of more than 3000 meters. We ensure minimal risk by adding rest to our trekking itineraries. Most people will feel some effects of altitude, some shortness of breath and possibly light headache, this is normal enough. Acute mountain sickness patients are quite different and usually have a serious headache, sickness, and lose awareness. In almost all possible cases there are sufficient warning signs to take action properly. Descending to a lower altitude is usually enough to prevent any further problems.
