Offered in: English

Escape the bustling Kathmandu and soak in the natural and spiritual vibe of Dhulikhel, Namobuddha, and Panauti. Stop at Dhulikhel to look into the Himalayas and explore its old town. A gentle walk of about 2 hours around Namobuddha passes through charming villages and woods, often coming to viewpoints looking at lush valleys with snow peaks. The Namobuddha is where Shakya Muni Buddha, in his previous life, sacrificed himself to feed a hungry Tigress and her cubs, which made it one of the most important pilgrimages for Buddhists. The tranquility and spiritual vibe of the place make this trip exclusive. Enjoy the panoramic view of the Himalayas, and later visit another authentic Newari settlement of Panauti on the way back. This medieval town stayed aloof from the modernization that the other Newari kingdoms went through.

    A cultural tour of Panauti offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich Newari cultural heritage. This medieval town stayed aloof from the modernization that the other Newari kingdoms went through. Thus, it is a more laid-back and less touristy Newari town to observe the local Newari lifestyle, art, and architecture. The tour typically includes visits to significant landmarks such as the cremation ground at Triveni Ghat, ruins of Panauti Durbar (palace where the Prince Mahasattva was born), and the Indreshwar Mahadev Temple, providing insights into the town's spiritual and historical significance.
