Namo Buddha is one of Nepal's most revered Buddhist pilgrimage sites, located about 40 km southeast of Kathmandu. It is famous for its deep spiritual significance, serene atmosphere, and breathtaking views of the Himalayas. A 1-night, 2-day tour to Namo Buddha offers travelers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing them to immerse in Buddhist culture, explore the monastery, and enjoy nature.
The history of Namo Buddha dates back to ancient times and is associated with the selfless act of a compassionate prince. According to Buddhist scriptures, Lord Buddha, in one of his previous lives as a prince, encountered a starving tigress with her cubs while traveling through the jungle. Moved by compassion, he offered his own flesh to save the dying animals. This selfless act of sacrifice is believed to have taken place at Namo Buddha, making it one of the holiest sites for Buddhists worldwide. Today, the stupa built in honor of this noble act stands as a symbol of ultimate generosity and kindness.
