Shivapuri Village is a heaven for many of the outdoor activities that we never find time for. Activities that are inspired while spending time at the Village include:
Hiking
Visitors can take enjoyable hikes around the Village while staying at the Eco Farm. The hike takes one through the natural forest are preserved as a buffer zone to the Shivapuri National Park. Along the route, one might encounter numerous birds, pheasants and on rare occasions wild boars and barking deer.
Biking
Shivapuri is a biker’s paradise, if you are looking for some off-road mountain adventure. Usually, Kakani (a popular destination towards the west) is one of the best choices to start out.
Bird watching
Shivapuri Village and Shivapuri National Park holds numerous bird species. One can easily be mesmerized by the varieties of sightings. This is particularly ideal for ornithologists and avid birdwatchers or to those who are just curious or want to learn more about the variety of species in the village and the National Park. Whether you watch birds as a hobby, perhaps alongside watercolor painting or Poker Games, or you're here to analyze the species variety, the village and the park are perfect choices.
Nature tours
A good half day trek within the Shivapuri National Park is a must while staying at the Village. This trek will take you into the dense oak-rhododendron forests and through one of the most untouched natural habitats laying so closely to nation’s capital.
Local village / Culture tours
The culture to the nearby Tamang village where one gets to see Nepalese village life in its purest form offers visitors the opportunity to converse with the ethnic Tamang community. Passing through the beautiful terraced, farm land and encountering local people going about their day to day business reminds of the ages long gone by. The culture tour also provides us the opportunity to frankly converse with the local people who are genuinely very welcoming and are ever willing to share their experiences with the visitors.
Yoga and Meditation
Shivapuri has a great legend and remains a spiritually very significant site for sages and yogis, many of who attended final liberation meditating here. This is where the great sage of our time known as the Shivapuri Baba spent his later life before living the planet at the age of 137 years. Shivapuri has several religious and cultural sites for the Hindus as well as Buddhists including peaks of Shivapuri, Manichud, Tarkeswor and the source of the Bagmati and Bishnumati rivers, all of which find mention in great Hindu and Buddhist epic and literature. To practice Yoga and Meditation in Shivapuri and its vicinity can be an opportunity to feel this spiritual vibration many a accomplished yogis and sages of the past are sending forth.
Camping
If you prefer doing nothing but taking a complete rest while reading books or winding down and going for a soothing stroll away from the hustle and bustle of madding crowd, where else could be a better place than Shivapuri village where you can have you own private camp set up for privacy and solace and have your own food prepared or ordered for, without even having to queue .
