Trip Overview
Jamacho Day Hike, as the name suggests, can be done in one day. The jamacho day hike is one of the popular short hikes in Nepal. At the top of a hill in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, there is a Buddhist shrine called Jamacho Gumba. A view tower stands there which offers a bird’s-eye view of the Kathmandu valley and on a clear day, you can see the magnificent Himalayas in the north. And on a smaller hill below you can see Swayambhunath aka the Monkey Temple.
At around 8 am, your guide will come to pick you up at the hotel you are staying. In a private tourist vehicle, you will be taken to the gate of Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. The guide will pay the entrance fee, which is included in the hike price. A motorable road also leads to Jamacho Gumba but you will take a hiking path that is about 5 km from the bottom to the top of the hill. In about 3 to 4 hours, you will reach the top where you will take your lunch. Stay there, click pictures, read a book, take notes, and soak in the views. Then, head down. In about 2 to 3 hours, you will reach the gate from where the tourist vehicle will pick you up and drop you off at the hotel.
Note
This trip is usually a 4 to 5-hour hike along uphill and downhill trails. Anyone with a good fitness level can complete this hike.
