It seems many people hike up to the monastery - good idea as the dirt road leading up guarantees an extremely bumpy and dusty ride by bus or taxi. The night at Namobuddha should have been a highlight of our tour of Nepal, but turned...More
The bus ride up to the monastery is an adventure, especially the final stretch when the bus grinds its way through the sandy and dusty dirt road. The monastery sits on top of a mountain and has a new guest house. Stunning views in all...More
You can't change the weather, so you just appreciate whatever you see for what it is. I think there may have been a great view, but not sure! The cafe there has some good food and is reasonably priced.

This Temple, and the surrounding countryside, have so much to offer! There are friendly dogs, contemplative monks, and beautiful architecture nestled in scenic surroundings. Follow the prayer flags for a nice day's walk.
