Nagi Gumba

4 Pradip Giri - 6 months ago

Such a beautiful place on the lap of shivapuri forest, took about 1.5 hrs to reach from shivapuri main entrance gate. Four wheel vehicle can reach just below Nagi Gumba then have to ascend for about 15-20 min to reach at the top of Nagi Gumba. On a clear weather, one can enjoy beautiful view of landscape

Expected a lot more forest area, but it was so-so. Other than that, it is a very good place to hangout and for people who want to start hiking.

Peaceful and undisturbed environment. Very good place nearby Kathmandu if you want an escape from all hustles and bustles.

It's a beautiful and peaceful place on the mountain in the Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. A favorite destination for hiking as well. We have to pass through a thick jungle and enjoy a very peaceful environment. The sounds of the birds makes the hiking more entertaining. A splendid view of the Kathmandu valley could be seen from the ways. It takes around 2 hours (normal walking) to reach the Gumba from the round way from the eastern side. There is stiff climbs and narrow passages. Need more endurance power to move a head. After almost an hour of climbing the route becomes some how wider and plain. We had a route guide with us. So I could not exactly tell the name of the villages we passed through. We moved towards the east side and later turned to west and entered the Shivapuri national park. At last we reached the Gumba where it was so peace and calm.
Student monks (many kids) were there discussing about their exam which they had just appeared. The main gumba is very beautiful with various statues there. It worth visiting the place. People also continue their hiking to the top of the mountain.
There is also a small canteen where tea, biscuits, noodles etc are available for light breakfast. we also took noodles and tea. after few minutes of rest and photo clicks, we returned back. As it was saturday, school students were also on the way with their teachers. we took the main route of the National Park. and arrived at the main entrance of the park. It was wonderful and very exciting hiking.
You must hike there and don't forget to take water with you. If possible, you can take dry foods of your choice as well. I will definitely visit again this place.

Hiked from my home in Narayanthan to Nagi Gumba with my two sons. Could spot few birds on the way luckily no wild animals. The hike is uphill and has a good climb and we can see Kathmandu far below in the haze. Totally forested it is cool and Serene... The climb to the gumba is about 200 steps and finally you reach the Gumba where only nuns are kept.
While returning took the jungle short cut which was even more fun.

Peaceful place with view of Kathmandu valley and mountain ranges. Will be a good hiking for a day. Resting after a hike with the feel of cool breeze passing through, it's awesome.
