Overview

This private day trip starts from Kathmandu and takes you to hike the hill of Namobuddha, at 1750 meters altitude atop the Panauti village. Spend a day away from the busy city enjoying gorgeous views of the surrounding mountain and the valleys below. On top of Namobudha is the grand and beautiful Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery from where a panoramic view of Panauti and Khopasi villages can be seen. It's also believed that Lord Buddha in his past life as a prince had offered his body to a hungry tigress whose five cubs were starving since she was so frail and weak to go out hunting. Namobuddha Stupa houses the remains of the kind-hearted prince which is closer to the Namobuddha monastery. The hike starts from the medieval town of Panauti passing along farmland, small woodlands, and villages toward the top of Namobuddha. Upon reaching Namobuddha, visit the monastery, shrine enjoying panoramic views all around. Afterward, drive back to Kathmandu and drop off at your hotel.
