Trip Overview

In the afternoon we take a 45 minute drive to Namobuddha (1750m), situated atop a hill near the old town of Dhulikhel. This place is celebrated as the meditation site of Nama Buddha, a Buddha incarnate of ancient times. There is also a legend that the incarnate offered a starving tigress about to devour a helpless child his own limbs so that both the tigress and the child might be saved.

After the Namobuddha visit we have short hike and drive to Panauti; one of the finest existing specimens of an all Newari settlement in Kathmandu and boasts of the 15th century Indreshwar Mahadev Temple, one of the most important temples associated with Newari culture and a Narayan shrine. Afternoon drive to Kathmandu.
