Activity itinerary

Namobuddha

  • 2h
Namo Buddha Monastery (Thrangu Tashi Yangtse) is one of Nepal's most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites, beautifully perched on a hilltop just a scenic drive from Kathmandu. It marks the legendary spot where a compassionate prince sacrificed his body to feed a starving tigress and her cubs, an inspiring storey that fills the entire area with a deep sense of peace and kindness. Today, the monastery is a thriving spiritual sanctuary where hundreds of monks live and study. For travellers, it offers a perfect escape to experience authentic Buddhist culture, witness traditional daily rituals, and enjoy clean mountain air with stunning, panoramic views of the snow-capped Himalayas.
