Kathmandu to Nagarjun Vehicle Rental

Nagarjun is a hill located to the North West part of Kathmandu valley. This destination is 7 km away and accessed with road way. The road upto the Shivapuri Nagarjun National park is well pitched whereas the road onward to the top of the hill is off road. You can hike from the entry gate of National park or go on your own vehicle. The trail is accompanied with shadow trail throughout the journey.

At the top of the hill, there is a Buddhist Gompa, called Jamacho Gumpa. It is a sacred destination for the Buddhist follower. Many people visit this place either for recreational purpose or for religious purpose. The scenery from the top is soothing while you observe the Kathmandu valley. There are several sacred caves in Nagarjun hill. Out of which some are empty while other are almost in ruins. There are two most important caves, one is situated inside the Raniban forest while another one is situated outside the gate on the Balaju-Trisuli Road. The cave inside the Raniban forest is said to be made by Nagarjuna to worship Swayambhunath and placed an image of Akshobhya Buddha. 

On the northern side of the hill outside the forest there is famous cave of Nagarjuna which still exists. There are images of Akshobhya and Nagarjuna inside. Tibetans call this cave of Guru Rimpoche, while local people call it as Laxmi Gupha. Within the cave there are images of Nagarjuna so this hill is called Nagarjun Hill. Near the Nagarjuna cave is a cave known as Buffalo Buddha by the Tibetans. There is a legend that once Nagarjuna was living in this cave. A buffalo herdsman used to visit the master and was offering milk, curds, etc. Once he invited the Master to town but Master told him to meditate at the same cave. But the herdsman was always thinking of his buffaloes. Later he himself became a buffalo. After meditation he shot through the roof of the cave and went to paradise. So, trekkers can explore such types of caves related to different legends.
