Overview
The Shivapuri National Park is the national park that is located closest to a capital city. The Shivapuri National Park is worth seeing since it is located on the second highest hill in the vicinity of the Kathmandu valley and is a center of the flora and fauna that can be found in this region. Getting to Shivapuri on foot is a quick and straightforward excursion that is located close to Kathmandu, the nation's capital. Baghdwar is the origin of the Holy River Bagmati, which is said to originate from the mouth of a tiger and flows through the vicinity of the holy shrine Pashupatinath. The peak of Shivapuri is located in this national park and lies at an altitude of 2732m above sea level. It honors the famous mediator Sage Shivapuri Baba by bearing his name. The peak of the hike culminates in a statue dedicated to the great sage. It is possible to see the picturesque Langtang range and the city of Kathmandu valley from the top of Shivapuri. Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang range, Dorje Lapka, Sisapangba, Mt. Everest, and Annapurna range are only few of the other mountains that can be seen from the peak.
In 1976 A.D., the area now known as Shivapuri National Park was designated as a Watershed and Wildlife Reserve, and in 2003 A.D., it was officially designated as a National Park, making it a great destination for a day of hiking. Located at an elevation of 2330 m, Nagi Gumpa lies on the way to Shivapuri Peak. For the Buddhist Nuns who live here and the tourists who come here to meditate, this is a world-famous monastery.
As Shivapuri is located in the temperature transition zone between subtropical and temperate zones, hence the natural vegetation consists of several types of forests depending on elevation and exposure. Northern slopes have a dense forest of oak trees as well as rhododendrons and other species of orchids. More than a few useful plants for treating illness can be discovered at mountain peaks.

Best Season for Shivapuri Day Hike
Hiking conditions on Shivapuri are best in the spring and fall (March-June and September-November). The blue skies and pure air at this time of year provide the ideal setting for admiring the Himalayas. The hills are full of spectacular fauna and lush vegetation in the spring, while the skies are at their clearest in the fall. In the wild, you might come across a monkey or a rooster, and if you're really lucky, a leopard or a sloth bear. Monsoon season (July-August) is when clouds and rain make it hard to see anything from the hilltop, making for a messier and less pleasurable excursion. The monsoon season is not ideal since leeches are common. Snowfall is possible on occasion throughout the winter months.
