Trip Overview
Jamacho is the best hiking destination to explore the national park, Gumba, and the countryside of the Kathmandu district. Starting the hiking after a 15-20-minute drive from Thamel is advantageous over long-distance travel. If you want to hike but don’t want to travel long distances then always choose Jamacho hiking.
Fulbari gate is the entry point of Jamacho hiking. After driving 5 km from Thamel we can reach the entrance of Shivapuri Nagarjun national park in Tarkeshwor municipality, Goldhunga. The forest trail, variety of birds, diverse plants of the hilly region, and colorful butterflies make your trial much more exciting. After walking for around 2.5 – 3 hours, you will reach the summit of Jamacho. The countless housing of Kathmandu Valley appears small from the view tower of Jamacho. You can visit Gompa, spend around an hour on the Nagarjun hill, and encounter the valley and its countryside. The mountain ranges above the hills around Kathmandu Valley are wonderful. The dense Nagarjun forest expands up to Shivapuri far in its eastern direction. We can return to Phulbari following the same trial in the Nagarjun forest. its also an ideal place for the meditation lovers. from the tower in the summit you can view the Panoramic views of the Himalayas including Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Jugal, Dorje Lakpa, and Langtang massif.
from summit it will take 1-1;5 hours to come down at beginning point of the hike.
After the hike you can just return back to hotel or can extend with some attractions near by . while booking plz let us know if you just want the hike or Extend to the near by area to cover more interesting sights .
We can continue to Osho Tapoban as a side trip. Osho Tapoban is located three kilometers far from Phulbari Gate. Inspired by the vision of the enlightened mystic Osho, Tapoban is a modern day hermitage and an international growth center located in the heart of the lush Nagarjuna hills inside the Shivapuri Wildlife Reserve forest. Based on the foothills of the great Himalayas, after a short visit to this center you can return back to your hotel or go for a Himalayan fresh water Trout fish tasting .
