10.Shivapuri National Park Hiking Day Trip

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

You’ll hike through oak, pine, and rhododendron forest, with views toward Langtang, Ganesh Himal, Annapurna, and possibly Everest.

“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.”
