Quick answer
It is based at Jhor Waterfall. Use your current location for navigation; as a planning reference, it is about 13 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square. Plan for 4 hours of activity time, with 43 min of total journey time from that reference point where route data is available, and easy difficulty.
A short and easy walk to Jhor Waterfall, a natural spring cascade near Tokha fed by forest streams from Shivapuri National Park. The route passes through quiet Newari villages and lush subtropical forest before reaching the falls. Beside the cascade, a small cave temple dedicated to Lord Shiva makes this a pilgrimage as much as a nature walk. Best combined with the Tarkeshwar Mahadev hike as a longer loop day trip.
