A day tour to the best natural area in Kathmandu - Shivapuri

The Shivapuri hiking trip is considered one of the best day hiking trips, and its proximity to the capital makes it an ideal location for tourists who wish to explore the wilderness but do not wish to venture too far. After Fulchowki, Shivapuri is the highest hill station in the Kathmandu Valley. Hiking to Shivapuri is a short and easy adventure near the capital, Kathmandu. While the Shivapuri hike takes 5 to 6 hours to complete, it rewards hikers with spectacular views of Kathmandu, the surrounding countryside, waterfalls, and the Langtang Mountain range. A Nepali army checkpoint is situated on the area's southern border to protect the national park. Nagi Gumpa is situated at an altitude of 2330 m north of Kathmandu, just above Budhanilkantha Temple. This monastery is only well-known among nuns who practice Buddhism and foreigners who come to meditate there.

This one day shivapuri trip can be arranged as per your wish. Just give us a call on 9851017772 and we will arrange it.

Earthbound Expeditions is recommended by Lonely Planet, Trip Advisor, Newyork Times, The Guardian, and many other national and international newspapers and magazines for our good services. For more information on the day trips near Kathmandu, feel free to get in touch with us.

We, a team of 10 like minded friends can never thank Rajan and his team at Earthbound for making our KMS yatra, a truly blessed and most memorable experience of our lives. We all completed our trip successfully on 3rd Sept, 2012. Some of us managed to do "Charan Sparsh -most wonderful experience" from the North Face of Kailash from Derapuk. A billion thanks to Sriram who helped us in our mission. Sri never let us us give up, gently prodding and encouraging us throughout the trek. This made us feel like seasoned trekkers giving us a lot of confidence. God Bless Sri and his wonderful attitude. Sri is indeed a great team leader . More thanks coming your way...... Arjun was a gentle and smiling human being who looked after us very well. Hari was a great entertainer and a good cook. His cooking constantly tickled our taste buds. The awesome trio of Sriram, Arjun & Hari met our countless demands with a smile. If the Great Lord wills it, we want to come back and do inner kora with you and the same team of Sri, Arjun n Hari Rajan who heads this team is a fantabulous person so simple, humble and positive.

You'll be in good hands!

August 2012, Tripadvisor

We contacted Earthbound Expeditions among many other travel agencies in Kathmandu and they exceeded our expectations and requirements upon first contact. The owner, Rajan, is extremely cordial and knowledgeable. He gave us many options that fit into our schedule and desires for a multi-day hike and did not give a hard sales pitch at all. On a ten day trek we had an excellent guide (Shree) and porter (Ramsey) who were knowledgeable and experienced, even though they were both younger than 25 yrs old! The teahouses we stayed in our the trail were first rate (still simple, you're in Himalaya Nepal!). We were so pleased with how Earthbound does business we asked that they help plan our onward journey to India! Don't look any further -- Earthbound is the way to go!

June 2012, Tripadvisor

This is my first time to Nepal. I wish it to not be my last. My experience is one I shall never forget and I am thankful to have picked Earthbound as my guide. I found them on the internet much as you are reading this. Rest assured, you will be as excited as you want to be in your endeavors whichever they shall be. Mine was I am afraid of heights. I chose an "easy" trek. There's a couple of spots on the way to Dhampus that were how shall I say.... scary to me. My guide Mahendra was with me every step of the way assuring me of my safety. He went from being my guide to an honest to goodness friend. All my personal guides were expert, courteous and willing to go way out of their way to make sure I had fun, was safe and would be happy with my trip. Chitwan park is a must see. It will be a life experience for you. Everything that Mr. Rajan set up for me was absolutely first rate. I cannot recommend Earthbound enough. I can honestly say I trusted them with my life and they made sure I was safe all the way. My drivers were courteous and when told I was afraid of heights, drove in such a way as to minimize my discomfort. That is about as custom tailored as it gets. You will not be disappointed. And you will be as safe as possible under the conditions you choose. These are a very strong people. Choose your trip with YOU in mind. They are used to the altitudes, climates, and hard labor. Your only limiting factor will be you.

When I embarked on my hiking trip to Nepal I was expecting to find a beautiful scenario, a fascinating landscape and perhaps some energetic vibe to bring back home with me... Well, that's been only the beginning as what made the trip even more special has been the enchanting and amazing service received throughout our journey thanks to Rajan and the Hearthbound Expeditions who meticulously planned every single venue, and our lovely guide Bharat and porter who looked after us on our trek of the Annapurna. I loved the all experience and I will definitely be back soon!
