Trip Overview

Embark on a profound journey to Namobuddha, a sacred Buddhist pilgrimage site nestled at an elevation of 1750m, located approximately 38 kilometers east of Kathmandu. This revered destination is adorned with stupas and shrines, embodying a rich spiritual heritage that dates back to ancient times.

Legend has it that Namobuddha holds significance as the place where a compassionate prince named Mahasattva offered himself to a starving tigress and her cubs, a poignant act of selflessness depicted in a beautifully crafted stone slab adjacent to a holy stupa.

Commence your pilgrimage in the early morning with a picturesque drive from Kathmandu, spanning approximately one and a half hours, to the village of Dhapasi, situated 35 kilometers east of the capital. From Dhapasi, embark on a serene hiking trail that winds northeastward, gradually becoming narrower as you venture deeper into the tranquil countryside.

Crossing over a suspension bridge and passing through quaint villages adorned with expansive rice fields, you'll witness the rhythms of Nepalese agrarian life, offering glimpses into the traditional practices of planting and harvesting crops during the appropriate seasons.

As the trail ascends steeply for about an hour, you'll eventually reach the sacred grounds of Namobuddha, where you'll have the opportunity to explore the serene surroundings and pay homage to the revered sites dotting the landscape.

After immersing yourself in the spiritual ambiance of Namobuddha, embark on a scenic drive back to Kathmandu via Dhulikhel, a journey of approximately one and a half hours, reflecting on the profound experiences and spiritual insights gained during your pilgrimage to this sacred site.
