FULBARI GATE - Check-in. Check out.

Fulbari, the gateway to Nagarjun, is located on the Pasang Lhamu Highway which connects Kathmandu to the border town of Rasuwagadhi on the Chinese border. It is just one kilometer to the north of Machhapokhari and shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes by foot. However, it is also possible to hop on one of those buses going to Kakani or Nuwakot and get off a few minutes later. Fulbari is important as it is the only place where you can buy a permit to enter the Nagarjun section of Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park. While you can enter through other entry points such as Mudkhu, you will first have to come here, get your permits, and register yourself here. You will also need to deposit some form of photo ID and give your cell phone number before entering. Permit Costs are as follows: Nepali citizen: Rs. 56.5 per person

SAARC citizen: Rs. 339 per person

Foreigners other than

You will also need to take a guide if you have a large group. However, if you have a small number of people-- two to three-- in your group, you can request for a guide-waiver. Tell them that taking guide will be expensive-- in fact, they are. If you are polite enough, and if you are Nepali (that's mostly the case), they will most probably agree. Guide price:
