Nagi Gompa (formally known as Nangkyi Gompa), the nunnery and retreat center, which is also part of Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery, lies high on the northern slopes of the Kathmandu Valley. Currently 108 nuns occupy the hermitage that was under the spiritual direction of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche until 1996. Five nuns successfully completed their three-year retreat on June 10th, 1998, Buddha's Enlightenment and Parinirvana Day, and 10 others entered retreat earlier that same year.

Nagi Gomba is located at the hilltop of Shivapuri National park,7-10km from Kathmandu. From the top, visitors can enjoy the panoramic view of Kathmandu valley and many more.

I still remember the day I went with my friends in summer. We hiked from budhanilkantha to the monastery. We took challenge that not going from main road, rather we went from jungle where we saw some deers and birds, lucky not to see leopard. When we reached there after one and half hour hike we just felt wahhhhh!!!!!
The view was amazing!!!

Decided to take the advice of a local who pointed me in the direction of steps. When through the jungle and managed to find the place eventually. Nice views. Got lost on the way down to and ended up walking through nice little villages, making my way to Budharikumar temple

From my room i can see Nagi Gompa very clearly so me along with my friend just thought of visiting Gompa ,we didn't know the way we just walk upward to hills and walked for more than 3 hour we where tired but the view that we saw while walking was fantastic and finally we reach our destination and i found that it was very peaceful and beautiful Gompa. The view that i loved most was the view of Kathmandu valley which we could see while walking uphills.

Beautiful, welcoming shrine room for meditating, active gompa with a strong lineage, and a lovely hike to get there. Not a top tourist site but especially wonderful if it has meaning for you. I didn't meet anyone who spoke English.

I got an opportunity to guide some of the western buddhist students to attend a ritual dance performed by the nun residing here. It was beautiful day and the view from here, seeing the Kathmandu valley is fascinating. The Nunnery is linked to the White monastery in Boudha, and you can inquire the special program being held here.

I went to this site on a guided tour - the tour guide wasn't great (he had no information whatsoever about the monastery), but the site is well worth seeing. It's a 2 km hike up into the hills (with a 420-stair climb at the end) - the National Park made us hire a nature guide at the gate, but that was worth it - Dipesh was very friendly, spoke great English, and was knowledgeable about all the birds and plant species (saw a lot of beautiful birds!). The monastery itself is beautiful, especially the temple where the nuns pray, and the scenery at the top of the hills is spectacular.

It was the best day while I was in Kathmandu last Feb 2017. A Nepali friend took me to Shivapuri, and I really really feel that Shivapuri is a nice place to look at stunning view of Kathmandu valley eventhough it was hazy at the time.
And he told me to go up to the monastery which I have no idea what the name is. Once I step at the main prayer area, I only feel the tranquility. The good thing was the nun offered us for meal as they know we are waiting for mini store to open and buy some snacks cos we’re hungry. It was such a good heart and kindness that truly touch me. I felt peace surround me, the tranquility gives me enlightment until today. And now I know that the name is Nagi Gompa. Dhan’yavāda...

Is this temple still standing please?
UNESCO and The Archeological Survey of India have not released a list of temples and locations, lost in the quake.
If travellers could photograph and post on the corresponding listings, of what is;
a) Demolished
b) Damaged
c) Fine
This will help the world learn of what is lost and what is not.
Thankyou.
Loving kindness to all in Nepal.
