EXTENSIONS:
Make this trip into an overnighter by staying at the incredibly well done Shivapuri Heights Cottage. You could also just add a coffee in the afternoon post hike out here and come back after a sundowner with a view of the city.
Convert this hike into a longer hike but ending it at Sundarijal or by going to the Shivapuri Peak. This will then take a better part of the whole day!
WHAT TO CARRY:
Think mainly protection from
Dehydration - hence you will need water
Sun - hence you need suncream, a sunhat and sunglasses
Wind - a light jacket
Cold - depends on the time of year so a heavier jacket
Rain - a rain jacket
The three could be the same of course!
