Namo Buddha Tour is an impressive and historically significant Buddhist pilgrimage site located 40 km southeast of Kathmandu Valley in the Kavre district. Namo Buddha means “Greetings to the Lord Buddha.” Buddhist mythology contains an interesting story about this place, depicted as a great symbol of human sacrifice at its highest level.
The whole area is covered with sacred flags on the top of a small hill. However, the Namo Buddha tour is beautiful, quiet, and pure. The highlight of the main stupa at the hilltop is where visitors can enjoy the incredible views of mountains and green fields. You can also visit the famous Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, where more than 250 monks reside today.
Despite being close to the capital, this area still has a typical Nepali rural lifestyle. During the exploration in Namo Buddha, this tour offers breathtaking views of Gauri Shanker, Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, Dorje Lakpa and the Tibetan Himalayan range as well as the best valley of Panauti, Balthali, Dapcha and Temal.
According to Buddhist sutras, Lord Buddha was born as Prince Lumbini in Nepal in his previous life. He was the youngest son of King Maharatha. He and his two elder brothers passed through the forest while hunting one day. They found a tigress with her cubs. She and her cubs could hardly move, weak from starvation. Their pitiable situation deeply moved him. So, before he could reach his destination far away from the forest, Prince Mahasattva returned to the tiger and offered them his flesh and blood to save them.
Later, his two brothers returned to the same place, but they saw only his bones and hair. In his honour, the King and Queen buried a small casket covered with seven kinds of jewels, laid his bones, and built a stupa over the place, which became very popular among Buddhist and Hindu pilgrims.
