About Nagarjun Forest:
Northwest of Kathmandu, Nagarjun Forest, otherwise known as Rani Ban (queen’s forest), is a stunning protected area. A portion of the Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, it is a well-frequented location for hiking, meditation, birding, and spiritual retreats. The jungle is also biodiverse, with birds, deer, monkeys, and leopards present. With its serene environment and dense foliage, it is the ideal place to get away from the hustle and bustle of a city and is a popular destination for the locals and the tourists.
Apart from its natural beauty, Nagarjun Forest has cultural and historical importance. The forest is named after Saint Nagarjuna, an ancient Buddhist philosopher who is said to have meditated in the caves here. Within the region, one can also visit places of worship such as the Jamacho Monastery and Nagarjun Hill Viewpoint, which provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley and Himalayan ranges. Be it for some adventure, peace, quiet, or a spiritual experience, Nagarjun Forest is a true hidden gem just a stone’s throw away from the center of the capital.

Best Time for Nagarjun Forest Rock Climbing:
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons are the best period to explore Nagarjun Forest Rock Climbing. Weather during these months in Kathmandu is generally clear, dry, and pleasant ideal for outdoor activities. Expect moderate temperatures, lush and green forest, and dry rock for optimal climbing conditions.
Although it is possible for climbing for much of the year, only avoid the monsoon season (June to August) due to the heavy rain, muddy rocks, and leech-infested forest trails (yeah, I did say leeches). Winter (December through February) can still be fun if you are fine with chillier temperatures, but mornings may be foggy or cold. On the whole, spring and fall are the safest and most enjoyable climbing in Nagarjun Forest.
Things to Consider While Rock Climbing:
Rock climbing is an exciting activity that requires focus, preparation, and awareness. Here are key things to consider before and during your Nagarjun Forest Rock Climbing experience:
- Always follow the safety instructions provided by your climbing instructor. Our certified guides will provide a detailed safety briefing and demonstrate the correct use of equipment to ensure your safety at all times.
- Wear comfortable, stretchable clothes that allow free movement. Lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics are ideal. Avoid wearing loose clothes or accessories that might get in the way during your climb.
- Use the proper gear provided, including a helmet, harness, ropes, and climbing shoes. Ensure your gear fits well and is properly worn before you start climbing.
- Make sure to warm up before climbing. Stretching and warming up your body can help prevent muscle strain and prepare you for the physical activity ahead.
- Stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your climb. Avoid heavy foods that could make you feel sluggish or uncomfortable during the activity.
- Know your limits and climb at your own pace. It’s important not to push yourself too hard, especially if you’re a beginner. The goal is to enjoy the experience safely.
- Respect the environment around you. Nagarjun Forest is a protected area, so avoid littering, disturbing wildlife, and straying off the designated paths during your climb.
