Nagarjun Hiking is a daylong hiking destination from Kathmandu. This site is popular among Buddhist religion researchers and nature lovers. This location holds great historical significance because this is the location where Manjushree, a Chinese saint, first laid eyes on what was to become Kathmandu Valley. An earlier record shows that the Buddha also came to Nagarjuna cave. The Water Garden, a little south of Nagarjuna, is also a must-visit. This exquisite location offers a great range of history, nature, and aesthetic beauty! The Padmasambhava Monastery is a small den where hikers can rest and speak to the monks on a wide variety of topics.
