Trip Overview

Namobuddha (also known as Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery), a monastery situated 40kms southeast of Kathmandu has its cultural and religious significance. This monastery is situated at the top of a beautiful hill (1750 meters high) at the lap of Namobuddha Municipality, Kavre district. This destination is popular among domestic and international tourists who would love to explore nature, culture, history, and tradition. This tour leads you to two traditional villages i.e. Namo Buddha and Panauti. 

Namobuddha is known for its Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery and Dewachen temple, both have their religious and mythical importance. The monastery is a pilgrimage to Buddhists and home to more than 250 monks. This also is a center of Buddhist religion and spiritual study. The hilltop of Namobudddha is enlightened by the sacred hymn of Prince Mahasattva (regarded as the previous life of Lord Buddha). The hilltop of Namobuddha offers the picturesque view of sparkling mountains i.e. Ganesh Himal, Manaslu Himal, Langtang Himal, Lirung Himal, and the Everest region of the east. 

Panauti, a beautiful Newari village at Kavre district has its own historical significance. Before the unification campaign of Greater Nepal by King Prithivi Narayan Shah, Panauti was a part of the Malla kingdom, under Bhaktapur. It is said that King Bhupatindra Malla of Bhaktapur, gave the village of Panauti as dowry to his sister as present to her marriage. There are still ruins and ruminants of the historical palace and artifacts like coins and water taps. The Indreshor Mahadev temple, situated at the junction of Rosi and Punyamati river is another attraction to the tourists. This three-storied pagoda style temple is the highest and tallest gift to the pagoda style of architecture in all Nepal. The village of Panauti has preserved its lifestyle, rituals, beliefs, costumes, and traditions.
