Shivapuri hill is located to the north of Kathmandu. It is 12 km far from Kathmandu. This is the valley’s second highest hill from where one can view of Ganesh Himal (7,111 m),Langtang Lirung (7,245 m),and Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m). The granite faced slope has different spots to crawl up but the central big cliff is the most challenging. One has to be equipped for this. 

It is 8 km to Budhanilkantha from Kathmandu, where we can go by bus. We can see the reclining Vishnu in the pond, a Hindu/ Buddhist pilgrimage center. Then Hiking up from there, can be reached to the military camp. After this, we go up following the gravelled road inside the forest. We reach to the Nagi Gompa, a local monastery on the top. This is the nice view point for the valley view and the hill to see in the South. After few kilometers towards Tare Bhir, we can see the black stone steep cliff hanging from the road which is our climbing spot for today!
