Jamacho is one of the closest hikes from the Kathmandu Valley — a less crowded jungle walk inside Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, open all year round.

  • About 4.4 km from the main entrance
  • Jamacho Hill sits at around 2,100 m
  • A stupa and a small monastery at the top, surrounded by prayer flags
  • A watchtower with 360° views of the mountains and the Kathmandu Valley
  • Wildlife and birdlife along the forest trail
