Overview – Rock Climbing in Nagarjun

Get ready for a one-day escape into nature and adventure with our Rock Climbing in Nagarjun experience—a dynamic blend of scenic hiking and technical climbing just outside Kathmandu. Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel, followed by a short 30-minute drive northwest into the tranquil edges of Nagarjun Forest, part of the protected Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. As the urban buzz fades, you'll step into a serene world of dense pine woods, chirping birds, and fresh mountain air.

After entering the park through the Phulbari Gate, you’ll take a gentle uphill hike—around 20–30 minutes—through shaded forest trails that gradually lead to the natural climbing arena. Along the way, soak in views of lush vegetation, occasional glimpses of the Kathmandu Valley, and the peaceful silence of the Himalayan foothills. Once you reach the climbing site, your experienced local guide will provide a detailed safety briefing and introductory climbing instruction, ensuring all harnesses, ropes, and gear are securely fastened.

You’ll then begin the ascent of a 55-meter natural limestone cliff, which features 21 routes catering to different skill levels. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned climber, you'll find a route that challenges and excites you. The cliff itself is surrounded by nature, offering a unique sense of immersion as you climb amidst the whispering forest and birdsong. Throughout the session, our guides will assist and encourage you, helping build your confidence and technique.

Once your climb is complete, you'll descend and return via the same forest path to the Phulbari Gate. A short drive will then take you back to your hotel in Kathmandu, concluding a day filled with adrenaline, nature, and accomplishment.

This trip is not only a physical challenge but also a personal journey of self-discovery, set in one of Nepal’s lesser-known natural gems. With Himalayan Magic Treks managing all logistics—from gear setup to safety protocols—you can simply focus on the climb, the views, and the experience. It’s a short yet powerful Himalayan adventure you’ll never forget.
