About this place
Nature WalkKathmandu
Summary
Sundarijal, at the point where the Bagmati leaves the Shivapuri forest, is the valley's quickest waterfall fix — a short walk past the dam leads to cascades and swimming holes, with teashops serving instant noodles and local brews. Serious walkers can continue up the old trail toward Chisapani for a proper day out.
Skip if
Skip on public holidays — Sundarijal draws big local crowds when the weather is good.
