About this experience
Dhulikhel Namobuddha day tour takes you to the Buddhist pilgrimage sites and different sacred ancient temples around Kathmandu Valley. Namo Buddha is about 40 km away from Kathmandu at an altitude of 2565m between Banepa and Panauti. It is an important Buddhist site in Nepal and is also one of the main stupas around Kathmandu Valley. Dhulikhel is also one of the coolest and famous destinations. It is located at the bottom of a mountain, as a result, you can explore the spectacular views of the high Himalayas like Mt. Langtang Lirung, Mt. Dorje Lakpa along with several shrines, gumbos and monuments. Hiking to Kali Temple is an easy one and ideal for those who strive to walk for at least a few hours.

Itinerary and highlights
Namo Buddha is a historic place, where Lord Buddha was believed to have offered his flesh to the starving tigress so she could feed her cubs. Visiting Namobuddh Monastery is the best part of visiting Namobuddha. Thick forests of Rhododendron bushes, Mongolia as well as Sal trees cover the hillsides leading to the terraced agricultural fields.
Bhaktapur is an ancient newa kingdom listed under UNESCO heritage sites. Local People and their lifestyle, as well as many ancient temples, art and architecture, are the highlights of this place.
Kali Temple lies at the top of a hill, and you have to climb one thousand steps to reach it. The reward is wonderful views of the Himalayas, beautiful green forest, rice terraces, and the local’s courteous behaviour. If you have extra days then you can have the choices of extending your stay at Panauti. It is also a place near Dhulikher which offers great scenic views of the Himalayas.
