Trip Highlights

The Namobuddha hiking of 1 day begins with a convenient pick-up from one of three locations in the Kathmandu Valley—Bhaktapur, Lalitpur (Patan), or Kathmandu. After being picked up, you’ll embark on a scenic 1-hour car ride toward Namobuddha Monastery, a sacred Buddhist pilgrimage site atop a hill. Along the way, you’ll pass through lush greenery and charming villages and have distant views of the majestic Himalayan peaks. Reaching the monastery, this great reverent place’s serenity and spiritual aura will engulf.

You will be given ample time at Namobuddha to roam around the monastery with a guided tour and an explanation of its rich history and importance. You will take pictures of the beauty around you and enjoy panoramic views of Kathmandu Valley. A short hike or walk around the area will offer an opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty further. After spending around five hours at the monastery, you’ll be dropped off at your chosen location—Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, or Kathmandu—reflecting on the peaceful and enriching experience.
