Overview

It is said that in a previous life, the future Buddha Siddhartha Gautama was a prince living here on the rim of the Kathmandu Valley. One day he encountered a hungry tigress that had just given birth to tiger cubs. She lay weak and dying, and unable to feed her newborns. In true personal sacrifice that was characteristic of Lord Buddha, he offered his arm which brought life back to the tigress, saving her life and the life of her cubs. 

Namo Buddha is one of three wonderful Buddhist pilgrimage sites around the greater Kathmandu Valley. Two are within a short distance from Thamel, but this one is up beyond the ridge. From here are magnificent views of the Himalayas. Pass the world’s tallest statue of Lord Shiva on the way as he stands guard over the Kathmandu Valley. 

It is a wonderful day trip featuring incredible scenery as well as unique Buddhist spirituality. Travel by private car with your knowledgeable guide for a truly amazing journey.

    Set off on one of Nepal's most profound spiritual journeys. This guided tour takes you to Namo Buddha, one of the three most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the Kathmandu Valley. This is a "must-see" destination, revered as the very place where a young prince (a past life of Lord Buddha) performed the ultimate act of compassion, sacrificing himself to a starving tigress and her cubs. Your guide will share this powerful legend as you explore the magnificent Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery. Marvel at its colorful Tibetan murals, spinning prayer wheels, and the serene energy of monks in prayer. The journey is part of the adventure! Enjoy a scenic drive from Kathmandu, passing the giant Kailashnath Mahadev (Shiva) statue and the charming Newari town of Dhulikhel. From the monastery, soak in breathtaking panoramic views of the snow-capped Himalayas. This is an unforgettable day of peace, legend, and mountain beauty.
