The National park is very rich for several species of mammals like Himalayan black bears, leopards, jungle cats, Rhesus monkeys, wild boars, dears, etc.

This place is very famous since there is a Nagarjun Durbar owned by former Royal families of Nepal. There are several popular and historical caves around Nagarjun like Nagarjun cave, the Mahasiddhas, etc. Though it is located very close to the Balaju area which is very crowded, you never even hear any sounds of vehicles during the hiking period.
