Namobuddha, one of Nepal's most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites, is where this enchanted journey starts. It is home to a magnificent golden stupa and a serene monastery that is steeped in legend (where Lord Buddha is said to have sacrificed himself for a starving tigress and her cubs in a previous life).
From here, the trail offers views of rural Nepalese life as it follows through beautiful Newari villages, pine forests, and terraced farmlands. Experience wider landscapes of the verdant Kavrepalanchok Valley and the foothills of the Himalayas as you travel.
The historic town of Panauti, a hidden gem with beautifully preserved medieval architecture, is where the trek comes to an end. Discover its rich local culture, deeply created wooden structures, and historic temples (such as the Indreshwar Mahadev Temple). Panauti is the ideal end to this spiritual and picturesque journey because of its timeless atmosphere and highly regarded riverbank ghats.
