Nagi Gompa, also known as Nangkyi Gompa, is a Tibetan Buddhist convent nestled within the Shivapuri National Park on the northern edge of the Kathmandu Valley. This unique site is home to over 100 nuns, making it a rare and significant institution in a region predominantly filled with male monasteries. The convent’s tranquil setting offers visitors a glimpse into the daily lives of the nuns, and many hikers include a stop here as part of their trek through the park. Surrounded by lush forest, Nagi Gompa provides a serene and reflective environment for both spiritual seekers and nature enthusiasts.
