Dhulikhel - Namobudha via Panauti Hike

Days from

The hike offers opportunity for exploring some of the hidden beauties of Nepal’s rural communities surrounding Kathmandu valley with mesmerizing sceneries.

After breakfast in Kathmandu, we drive to Dhulikhel, situated some 30 km east of Kathmandu along the Araniko highway connecting Nepal with Tibet. From Dhulikhel we walk up gradually on the summit of Namo Boudha. It is situated on a hill above Panauti-a medieval town. It is one of the important religious sites for Buddhists. It is believed that Buddha came here in one of his incarnation and fed his flesh to a hungry tigress so she can feed her cubs. There is an ancient stone slab and a stupa with the all seeing eyes of the Buddha that commemorates that occasion. A big statue of Buddha and several uniformly lined up stupas in the back drop of the enchanting Himalaya provides an ideal scene for a photographer. Descend to Panauti. It is an old settlement of Newars. This medieval town has some of the best examples of wood craftsmanship in the form of temples. Here we will take time to explore the temple of Indreshwar Mahadev built in the 14th century and Brahmayani built in 17th Century. In the late evening we drive back to Kathmandu.
