“Good overall activity. There are however some issues to be addressed. Pro: The guide I had Krishna for the majority of the activities was excellent.

The jungle walk was a unique experience, and good fun, something I would definitely reccomend doing. The accomodation is a good standard, with polite helpful staff.

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 3 reviews · 8 hours · from $61

Hike Shivapuri Peak from Kathmandu for Himalayan views, Nagi Gompa, Bagdwar, forest trails, transport, guide, and park entry.

“Shivapuri Park is wonderful, with numerous trails tailored to the individual abilities of participants. A definite plus was the ability to pick up our group directly from the hotel. The guide tried to be very helpful, but she didn't always know how to navigate. She also talked way too much. We wanted to enjoy the park's atmosphere, but instead—inherently—we were focused on the guide's incessant chatter.”
