Nagarjun Forest

The Nagarjun Forest Reserve is one of the last remaining untouched wild spaces inside the Kathmandu Valley, and its southern boundary sits practically right outside the hotel windows. As a protected part of the Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, this dense, oxygen-rich jungle is dominated by towering pine, oak, and rhododendron trees, offering an instant escape into deep nature.

Staying at Uma Residence gives you the ultimate luxury of waking up early, grabbing your daypack, and strolling right over to the park checkpoint. The forest is a paradise for birdwatchers, nature photographers, and anyone looking to swap the dusty city air for fresh, crisp mountain breezes. It provides a peaceful, quiet green canopy that feels worlds away from the capital, despite being right on its edge.
