Why Namobuddha Day Hike
Holy site for the Buddhist.
Stupas and shrines.
Ancient Newar town Panauti.
Suspension bridge.
Namobuddha day hike is a holy site for the Buddhist and lies in the Kavre district at an altitude of 1800m, about 38 km east of Kathmandu. The stupa and shrines build up in this lovely little hill significantly enough mark a very ancient holy site where a legendary prince named Mahasattva offered him to starving Tigress with its several underfed cubs. This legendary episode is depicted in a very nice stone slab and place right next to a holy stupa.
The hike starts after we drive 35 km east of Kathmandu for about one and half hours to a place called Dhapasi via an ancient Newar town Panauti with packed lunch Box. From Dhapasi we follow the uphill trail towards north-east direction and the trail narrows. We cross a suspension bridge and pass Through many small villages to huge rice field which gives you a chance to see how Nepali people plant and harvest the crop (during appropriate season). from here we hike steep uphill for about an hour to reach Namobuddha and the total hiking hours in 3 to 4 hours.
After lunch and strolling around for some time, we drive down to Dhulikhel from about 30 minutes and one hour drive to Kathmandu.
