Enjoyable hike

We did the day tour to Shivapuri Hill and it was led by our guide Bhuban who is very friendly and funny. It took 6 hours to get to the top of the hill and down again but Bhuban prepared lots of snacks and a filling lunch for us. He also pointed out quite a number of wildlife such as deer, wild pigs, what we think might be weasels and birds to us.
