Shivapuri, a fascinating hill protected under Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, is rewarding in all forms and shapes. A beauty queen standing proud at an altitude of 2720m above sea level is what Shivapuri renders. The name “Shiva” symbolises the Hindu god worshipped by all Hindu followers. Shivapuri shares proximity to the northern edge of Kathmandu. Shivapuri is magical. The view of the Langtang range awaits if you look up, and the beauty of Kathmandu valley lies below you. And Shivapuri Hiking serves as a complete experience full of natural and religious mysticism.
It is natural attractiveness that prevails here, and deep religious belief is equally the topic of fascination. Nagi Gumba(Monastery)(2330m) at the hill companied with praying coloured flickering flags and silent monks praying to the inner self is a powerful sight that lucky only gets to witness. Vegetation and fauna, which are too in variation and abundance, are what you will be experiencing on the second-highest hill near Kathmandu. Shivapuri Park shares both sub-tropical and low-temperature climatic variations.
This variation facilitates different species of flora and fauna. As per the various surveys, there are 1250 species of vascular plants and 129 species of mushrooms. Similarly, this park has four forest types: lower mixed hardwood forest, Pine Forest, Oak Forest, and Upper Mixed hardwood forest. So, different animals and birds love to flock in this park as there is variation in vegetation. In the garden, 311 birds have flown, 117 are migratory, and 102 species of butterflies and moths entertain themselves in the serenity of this park. Common animal species include the white-backed vulture, Himalayan griffon, black vulture, sparrow hawk, common buzzard, King cobra, green pit viper, rat snake, etc.
The hiking route is not easy as the trail ascends uphill after the monastery. So, necessary hiking gear is a must. And Raconteur Adventure provides you with the logistics required. Remember that you need to carry enough cash in local currency, as cards are useless in this part of the world. Moreover, you need to bring enough water to keep yourself hydrated during the hike.
The mountains and Kathmandu valley views are best when the weather is clear. So, on a clear sky day, dazzling view of mountains such as Annapurna Range, Ganesh Himal, Langtang-Lirung, Dorji Lhakpa, and Rolwaling Himal promises to play inner strings of yours, a romance with nature and its never-ending hide and seeks mysticism. Shivapuri, where myth becomes a reality, a place to challenge your physicality, enjoy rooted local traditions, sing a lullaby with numbers of birds, and keep your eyes on captivating mountains with the astonishing view of Kathmandu valley beneath you. Meditating to your inner self with utmost silence, connecting to the positive vibration the place has, is what Shivapuri and its enigma teach to you.
