About 40 minute drive from Kathmandu will take you to Budhanilkantha (9Km. north-west). Here a 5 meter long a stone image (built 6th-7th century) of Vishnu lies serenely in the pond bedding on a most unusual coil bed of the multi-headed snake. We stop for 10 minutes to visit this shrine area and continue drive for another 15 minutes to the Army gate. This is the entry of the hike to Shivapuri hill. This hill is one of the highest hills around the Kathmandu Valley. We walk about 30 min along the unfinished road through the park forests and then taking the trek trail head to the top. It’s a walk of 3 hrs to 4 hours. The top is experienced with an excellent view of Kathmandu Valley, views of the Annapurna Range, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Rolwaling etc. Take your pack lunch while enjoying the vistas. Going back down to Budhanilkantha – to drive to your Hotel; through a different trail is chosen.  This is totally of 6-7 hours trip. Minimum group size is 2 people.
