Namo Buddha Hiking

Namobuddha is situated at an elevation of 1750m. It is very important Buddhist Pilgrimage which lies about 38 kilometers east of Kathmandu. The Stupa and shrines built in this lovely little hill mark a very ancient holy site significantly enough where a legendary prince named Mahasattva offered himself to a starving Tigress with its several underfed cubs. This legendary episode is depicted in a very nice stone slab and depicted right next to a holy Stupa.

Early in the morning, you drive from Kathmandu for about one and half hours to the place called Dhapasi, 35 kilometers east of Kathmandu.

The trail heads northeast and the trail become narrow as you move further. You cross on a suspension bridge and pass through many small villages to huge rice fields, which gives you a chance to see how Nepalese People plant and harvest the crop (during on the appropriate season). The trail goes steep uphill about an hour nearby reaching to Namobuddha. After detouring sometimes here, you will drive to Kathmandu via Dhulikhel in about one & half hours.
