This 5-hour 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 to take-in the gorgeous views of the surrounding mountain views and the valleys below.
The tour begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Kathmandu. The drive to Khopasi takes about 1.5 hours, crossing the age-old Newari town of Panauti.
The hike starts from Khopasi following the trail going uphill towards Namobuddha. The trail first crosses the suspension bridge then goes along villages, forested areas, cultivated fields. The hike is sometimes on a level-path and at times uphill but the climb is not too difficult. Most of the way will be filled with great views of the terrains below, consisting of farmlands, small settlements, fruit gardens including distance views of Panauti village and Khopasi.
Upon reaching Namobuddha, enjoy spectacular views of the mountains, surrounding valleys and villages down below. Namobuddha is known to be one of the holiest Buddhist sites in the world. The prime attraction here is the Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery founded by V.V. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche in 1978, which is the school for young monks. You will also see a shrine that represents a belief in the past life where Lord Buddha, filled with compassion, offered his body to a hungry tigress to feed her cubs at this very location.
After exploring Namobuddha, you will be driven back Kathmandu and get dropped off at your hotel.
