Nagarjun

The other recommented site is Nagarjun (2105 m) which lies north west of kathmandu. It is only a ten minute drive from Thamel and lies just above Balaju. One can walk from Balaju and to reach the top on foot, take the road that goes right just after the entrance. The one going left is long and winding and better for a drive. Pheasants, Magpies, Sunbirds, Ruby- throats are some of the birds found here. However, it is not as good as phulchowki.
