A day tour to the best natural area in Kathmandu - Shivapuri

The Shivapuri hiking trip is considered one of the best day hiking trips, and its proximity to the capital makes it an ideal location for tourists who wish to explore the wilderness but do not wish to venture too far. After Fulchowki, Shivapuri is the highest hill station in the Kathmandu Valley. Hiking to Shivapuri is a short and easy adventure near the capital, Kathmandu. While the Shivapuri hike takes 5 to 6 hours to complete, it rewards hikers with spectacular views of Kathmandu, the surrounding countryside, waterfalls, and the Langtang Mountain range. A Nepali army checkpoint is situated on the area's southern border to protect the national park. Nagi Gumpa is situated at an altitude of 2330 m north of Kathmandu, just above Budhanilkantha Temple. This monastery is only well-known among nuns who practice Buddhism and foreigners who come to meditate there.

This one day shivapuri trip can be arranged as per your wish. Just give us a call on 9851017772 and we will arrange it.

Earthbound Expeditions is recommended by Lonely Planet, Trip Advisor, Newyork Times, The Guardian, and many other national and international newspapers and magazines for our good services. For more information on the day trips near Kathmandu, feel free to get in touch with us.

Another amazing adventure!

November 2017, Tripadvisor

This is my third trip with Earthbound and it has once again been an amazing experience. I wanted to go off the beaten track and so I had my trip tailor made to suit my wishes. From the first initial plans with Badri in London to arriving at Kathmandu airport and to the final return to that airport I was always looked after my my hosts, Rajan and Kedar. My day visiting Changu Narayan, Bhaktapur and Patan was so exciting and interesting made so by Resham Raz who is very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. I stayed in the Thamel Eco Resort, Pokhara Eco Resort and Himashu Homestay (see other reviews) and was looked after and made to feel very welcome, part of the family. During my 10 day trek, starting in Pokhara and ending in Muktinath, I was led by my guide Narayan who took great care to make sure that I trekked safely and our food and accommodation was good and we had some exciting and funny experiences together! The experience of being so close to some of the world’s greatest mountains will stay with me forever. I can only once again thank Rajan and his excellent team of guides and employees for making this possible. I am now planning my next adventure with them!

Mansarovar & Mt.Kailash Parikrama

September 2017, Tripadvisor

I recently complete the 15-daytrip. All I can say is the trip and trekking experience were beyond par, thanks to earthbound expeditions. They were simply amazing. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Kathmandu, a team member was waiting to transport us to our hotel. The accommodation the whole way up the mountain and back was great and the food was also great everywhere we stayed and we were able to make menu changes if we need. Our guides Kedar, Arjun and our cook Gopal, were all great and friendly and helpful the entire way. They stayed close to everyone and made sure we were well taken care of physically and mentally Overall the experience we had trekking and horse riding to Mt. Kailash was exceptional from start to finish. I intend to return to go back to Mansarovar with my husband to island peak and I will definitely be doing it through earthbound when I return. If you are considering a trip to Everest base camp use them, I would highly recommend them.

But Earthbound Expeditions excel all of them. The most reliable and excellent Travel Agency. I thank and congratulate and wish them all the best!!!

Wonderful Nepal hiking!

October 2017, Tripadvisor

My wife and I had a great trek in the Annapurna region plus a couple of great days in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Rajan and his team at Earthbound were fantastic and were very accommodating with our many itinerary changes. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short a couple of days and even with that Rajan and team were tremendous in helping us change our plans last minute. We had a wonderful and inspiring trip filled with amazing landscapes and even better people thanks to Earthbound. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to set up treks, tours, or anything else in Nepal.
