## About

This easy, relaxed hike takes you to the peaceful hilltop monastery of Amitabha, also called White Gumba, perched above Kathmandu. The trail is gentle, shaded by rhododendron and pine trees, and ideal for travelers seeking a short escape into nature while experiencing local culture.
Along the path, you’ll see small shrines, fluttering prayer flags, and traditional Nepalese homes. The hike offers insight into local spiritual life, as White Gumba is an active meditation center where monks live and practice.
