Nagi Gumba

This is a lovely spot to hike to. The temple is beautiful and serene. You'll have a good view of the valley if the air is clear, which is unlikely before monsoon season. It is a great break from the polluted air in town. We stayed nearby at Meraki Wellness Centre, which is a few minutes' walk from the hotel, so it's a great base. We didn't manage to go much farther than the monastery because of lighting it's supposed to be really beautiful. You should stop at the monastery for a break and some snacks.

Good for Short Hiking. Peacefull Area at the top with fresh air and view. People bringing all the Junk Food from the city to this natural space is the worst part I experienced. Please bring some fresh food and be with nature 🙏 Donot bring those nonsense music speaker, just be with the sound of trees, water, air,... Donot take all those City Stuffs to the place. Bring more Awareness and Love ❤😍

Beautiful, peaceful and small ghumba in shivapuri. One the best place for short hike. It took us one and half hour from shivapuri national gate to reach nagi ghumba. And we also spotted deer on the way.

This is a very quiet monastery where you can stop for refreshments and snacks, but also visit the temple as it is often open and many monks officiate.

Famous Buddhist Monastry located inside Shivapuri National Park. One of the destination over hike round Shivapuri. Can go here mainly from two routes, from Budhanilkantha and from Dadagaun. Shall take tickets from the Army Camps to enter here from two Check Posts.
Overlooking the Budhanilkantha Temple, Nagi Gumba is located at an elevation of 1650 meters north of Kathmandu. This monastery is also known as "Ani (Nun) Gumba" because only nuns reside there. This monastery is home to 200 nuns who practice Buddhism, and it also functions as a training facility for new nuns. You can meditate like most tourists do here while also observing the Nuns' austere way of life. The incense scent, prayer sounds, prayer flags, and prayer wheels will all surround you and make you feel peaceful.
Without a doubt, Nagi Gumba is the ideal place to re-energize your tired body, mind, and soul. There are benches placed around the large field to provide you with comfort. Here, you can watch the yellow monastery, the nearby flags sway, the clouds above float, the birds fly, and, most importantly, you can watch yourself loving the peace within and around you. There is a lot to like here. A small glimpse of the simple life lived here by the nuns in service of the monastery and its visitors, for example, will warm your heart.

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.

A 6.5 kilometer hike from the gate of Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park, this is a great place for a hike outside the hustle and bustle of urban life in the city. You could also take a vehicle upto the approximately 500 steps leading to the gumba. The gumba offers great view of the Kathmandu valley and is surrounded by greenery on all sides. The gumba also has a garden with numerous varieties of flowers that is great for a casual stroll.
Greatly recommended for a casual and not-so-difficult one day hike with friends and family.

This is are most beautiful place in the World! My life really change after i visited this wonderful monastery. I sending gratefulness, peace and real love to this place and all of them!

nice place for hiking.. please carry mask, water while going there as it is off-road and a lot of vehicle travel while hiking

Nagi Gumba lies at Shivapuri National Park which is just 1 hr 30 mins walk from entrance gate of park(Muhan Pokhari). You can catch up different hiking route from the way as it linked Baghduwar, Bishuduwar, Tarebir, Chisapani and more. For slow walker Nagi Gumba can be good hiking destination near valley.At Nagi Gumba you can meet with nuns and know their day to day life but on their spare time only.
PS:I request every visiter to not make noise and pollutes the pheripery while you visit the place. Please don't disturb others.Do take permission to take pictures with senior monk.

Beautiful place. Takes about 1.5 hrs to reach this place from the main entrance of Shivapuri National Park (Tiket fee is Rs. 56.50 including tax). Naagi gumba attracts a lot of visitors especially in the new year. Situated at an altitude of appx. 1900 meters, this is a great spot to meditate, relax and even organize an outing or picnic.

Peaceful are near kathamandu valley.
Place is located in jungle.

This is a very nice Buddhist temple. I didn't have the opportunity to explore inside the complex but there is a small convenience shop run by the nuns for hikers to pick up extra water or a snack of chips, Snickers, and ramen.
