## About

Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Kathmandu. Travel to the Kavrepalanchok District, approximately 40 km southeast of Kathmandu, to reach the Namo Buddha Stupa.

Explore one of the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Nepal, revered as the site where a young prince (an earlier incarnation of Shakyamuni Buddha) sacrificed his body to feed a starving tigress and her cubs.

Admire the Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, a massive, intricately decorated Tibetan Buddhist monastery that houses over 250 monks and features a stunning main prayer hall.

Visit the Tigress Shrine, a small cave and statue located a short walk uphill from the main stupa, marking the exact spot of the legendary sacrifice.

On clear days, enjoy breathtaking 180-degree views of the Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Gaurishankar ranges. Walk along the surrounding hills, draped in thousands of colorful prayer flags, creating a peaceful and mystical atmosphere for walking and meditation.
