- loo cbelgium287 contributionsJust a fantastic place to be in Kathmandu valley.

- Gaze NepalKathmandu, Nepal66 contributionsWe went on hike around the National Park in the winter season.
We saw Hog Plum plants everywhere which can only be found in Nepal.
Best for a jungle experience and nature getaways.
Rock climbing is one of the activities, that park offers.
I would suggest to walk with a guide as the hiking trails go deep into the forest.
Waterfalls and small river streams can be seen on the way.Written July 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The second day however saw the crowds disappear allowing more of the promised range and variety of bird-life to appear resulting in a much more pleasant experience...certainly a place to recommend for both exercise and a more relaxed option if in Katmandhu and interested in wildlife.Written January 29, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mickknapNorth Yorkshire, UK6,019 contributionsBooked a driver and car(4x4) for the afternoon from my hotel,Kathmandu Boutique,to take me up to the Countryside outside Kathmandu for a bit of scenery and fresher air. taking the Trisuli road,well if you can call it a road ,you need at least a 4x4 to get along here,there is very little tarmac,steepsides lots of traffic buses/lorries that believe me iam amazed how they actually get along it in some parts.Anyway up and a turn off to the forrest area which has some good little treks,there are are also a few hills to climb up around here and one with a lookout tower which overlooks the valley and back towards Kathmandu,it was damaged during the earth quake ,and they are rebuilding it,you can go up,but i would advise to wait until its finished, there is another hill quite a lot of steps up to a stupa/temple.Further along the road we bounced, passing some very tight road passes,stopping at a large restaurant/hotel complex with great views over the valley and beyond,the road/track carries on up and through the valley,unbelievable this road its got to be impassible during the rainy/winter season,passing small villages,road sellers and occasional houses/shacks hanging off the road/cliff edge.We reached Kakani and a small village with a military school ,but also some good views of the himalayers,again you can walk around here for views and various parks/stupas monuments. the whole trip cost me $50 for about 6hrs there and back ,so i got to see at least some of the countryside some scenic views with a few treks thrown in, the weather was very humid and being up over 2500 ft some of the views where very hazy in the valley,i enjoyed the day ,but alas still have that road to travel back on , Tip if you want to go along the Trisuli road by local bus because its cheaper ( if you must ) get a seat ,do not stand .You will be bounced all over.Written July 3, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MyIndiaPilgrimageCleveland, OH127 contributionsThe display on Nepal's indigenous healing and industrial-use plants was great. A lot of the specimens however seemed dead in that exhibit (Maybe because they were mountaing growing plants). Nonetheless the placards were informative. The greenhouses were closed to the public when I went but the grounds were pleasant to walk. It was a great break from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu.Written October 28, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pepsi7 contributionsIf you are fit or want yourself to be fit while having a good time, hiking on Sundarijal is the best thing you can do. It's safe, fun and refreshing. If you are a religious person sundarimai temple is a must go, if you are not a religious person, just below the temple is a river beach, stay there for a while and enjoy life. If you are with your partner; even better. And please do WALK! Walk as much as you can, explore as much as you can but not into dangerous areas. Be sure to take enough food because you will be tired, but it's all worth it.Written September 7, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Suraj TM7 contributionsOne of the best places to visit at the outskirt of Kathmandu valley. Good memories.
Safe parking (for 2 wheelers).
Clean water/Lake management should be considered in order to add more beauties to the site.
Overall good experience indeed.

The Buddha statues were beautiful, I feel that this should not be missed especially for those who visit the Swayambhunath as it is just a short walk from there.Written November 27, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PeregrineriNew Delhi, India945 contributionsIt's a nice park for a walk, with some temples you can visit. No sign of any deer, unfortunately. It's on a hill near Pashupati Nath overlooking the Bagmati River.You do have to climb up. It's definitely not accessible.Written June 14, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
