Buddhist Pilgrimage · Buddhist Nepal
Namo Buddha & Buddhist Foothills
♡A three-day short pilgrimage to the hillside monastery at Namo Buddha, one of the Kathmandu Valley's key Buddhist sites, for guests with limited time.
Best for: Traveler with limited time wanting a focused Buddhist pilgrimage
Destinations: Kathmandu Valley
Overview
This short journey focuses entirely on Namo Buddha, one of the valley's most significant Buddhist pilgrimage sites, without the broader Kathmandu sightseeing our longer Buddhist journeys include. It suits guests who specifically want this site and its rural hillside setting rather than a general Buddhist-Kathmandu overview.
The drive out to Namo Buddha through the hills east of Kathmandu is itself part of the experience — a quieter, more rural approach than anything in the city. Once there, the schedule is simple: a guided introduction to the site's significance, a meditation session, and time to walk the hillside grounds before returning to Kathmandu.
