About Hiking:

One of the famous Buddhist stupa is known as Nagarjuna Hill which is about 7km. from Kathmandu at the height of 2128 m.

Once time in year, it is celebrated a festival, Tht time trail is full of visitors hiking to Nagarjuna Hill.

A motorable road leads through Raniban (Queen forest) to this stupa. It takes about 45 minutes to reach there in motor/jeep while hike is about 5 km. on foot and takes about 2 hours. It is quite steep and one has to climb about 754 m. There is about 20-30 ft stupa height. Nagarjuna hill is also described in literature as Vindya mountain.
