Southeast of Kathmandu, bordered by the holy Bagmati River is the beautiful forest grove of Gokarna.This is a lovely Gokarna Safari Park. It lies about ten kilometers northeast of Kathmandu, on the banks of the river. It is said to be the place where Shiva himself once wandered, disguised as a beautiful golden deer under cover of the low forested hills. Local people built a fine shrine, the Gokarna Mahadev temple on the river bank opposite the forest. Visitors pay a fee to enter Gokarna which also contains a safari park and other facilities. Many species of deer roam here as well as pheasants and peacocks. Elephants and ponies are available for adventurous riders. Gokarna safari park 10 km east of Kathmandu provides elephant safari for viewing wild animals and birds such as spotted dear, peacock etc. It has a resort and a restaurant as well.
