It is said that in a previous life, the future Buddha Siddhartha Gautama was a prince living here on the rim of the Kathmandu Valley. One day he encountered a hungry tigress that had just given birth to tiger cubs. She lay weak and dying, and unable to feed her newborns. In true personal sacrifice that was characteristic of Lord Buddha, he offered his arm which brought life back to the tigress, saving her life and the life of her cubs.  Namo Buddha is one of three wonderful Buddhist pilgrimage sites around the greater Kathmandu Valley. Two are within a short distance from Thamel, but this one is up beyond the ridge. From here are magnificent views of the Himalayas. Pass the world’s tallest statue of Lord Shiva on the way as he stands guard over the Kathmandu Valley.  It is a wonderful day trip featuring incredible scenery as well as unique Buddhist spirituality. Travel by private car with your knowledgeable guide for a truly amazing journey.

  • Namo Buddha (Stupa), Kathmandu, Nepal
    Before Lord Buddha could become the enlightened one, he grew into the position through a series of rebirths. In one previous life, he was a prince here in the region of Namo Buddha. It was in a cave that he discovered a tigress that way dying from hunger. Exhausted from giving birth to her cubs, she laid there with life fading from her eyes. Lord Buddha as the prince offered himself to her so she could feed and raise her cubs. He sacrificed himself so she could live Namo Buddha commemorates this event with a beautiful monastery. Overlooking the snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas to the north, it sits just beyond the Kathmandu Valley Rim. Namo Buddha is a butter lamp burning before sacred idols. See the spot where Lord Buddha offered himself. Walkabout and experience the amazing serenity of this awesome place. The walls are rich in symbolism as only found in Tibetan Buddhism. Demons and deities gaze down at you from the colorful walls. Buddhist monks perform pujas and then come to study, seeking their own enlighten. The journey to the Namo Buddha trip is half the fun as you pass through quaint villages while the road rises higher and higher. You see the world’s tallest statue of Lord Shiva, who stands in a protective pose over the Kathmandu Valley. Travel higher to discover the beautiful city of Dhulikhel with its own interesting temples as well as the spatial view of the snowcapped peaks. It is a day without the hustle and bustle of the Kathmandu Valley. You will enjoy the journey even more with your knowledgeable, English speaking guide. He will explain to you the symbolism of Tibetan Buddhism that will bring alive the story of Lord Buddha in this incredible sacrifice to save a tiger and her cubs. In any adventure in Nepal, don’t miss Namo Buddha.

The monastery was a very beautiful place in the mountains, I enjoyed to visit it. Shanti, the tour guide did an excellent job, she explained everything nicely and had answers to all my questions.

This trip was the highlight of Kathmandu. Shanti was very punctual in hotel pickup and she was very patient with taking photos and talking about the history.

I spent two days wirh this company and really appreciated the care that Pankaj took with my itinerary to make sure that I got an experience that fit my requirements. We went to see Namo Buddha the first day and spent the second day sight-seeing around Kathmandu. Namo Buddha is amazing place, you have to include ir in tour trip! The company also provided an excellent vegan lunch, and Pankaj helped me.with some speciality shopping. I will definately recommend this company and Pankaj and his fellow guide Niraj and the driver Hari. Was an enjoyable outing!
