Overview of Namo Buddha Hike

Looking for a day with family, friends and refreshment? Then join us for a short day trip to Namo Buddha, in Kavre District southeast of the Valley, one of the 3 most significant stupas, just 40km away from Kathmandu city.

“Namo Buddha” is a sacred site ,the name translate to “Homage to the Buddha”.According to the buddhist it is believed that in one of the lives of Lord buddha he was born as a prince named Mahasattva.One day, while he was wandering around the forest with his 2 brother ,he encounter a hungry tigress and her cubs ,seeing them in desperate need of food, the price selflessly offer his own body to the tigress as food ,this act of supreme self-sacrifice is considered a powerful symbol of compassion ans selflessness in Buddhism.A stupa marks the spot where this legendary event is said to be placed.

A day hike to Namo Buddha begins after the hearty breakfast ,we set out for the Dhulikhel.After reaching to the Dhulikhel ,the trails goes through the villages,terraced fields.As you ascend higher and if the day is clear then we can see some of the himalayan peaks including:Langtang Lirung(7,227m),Ganesh Himal ranges and Dorje Lakpa (6,966m),the air becomes more and along the way there are opportunities to interact with the locals who are very friendly.As the trails passes we will reach to the Namo Buddha stupa which is located at the top of the hill at an altitude of 1,750 m with 360 degree views of the valley so, the place is popular to both locals and foreigners.Upon reaching the monastery we are greeted by the soothing chants of monks and the aroma of incense through the air.

You can do this hike before embarking on any trekking routes or to any nature lover who is here for official work and desires a day of escape to culture and nature.This one day hike provides insights into Buddhist culture and a fulfilling option for short yet enriching hike.

 Verified A special experience I never dreamt I would achieve… on crutches!
On our visit to Pokhara my friend arranged a trip by jeep via the Tatopani hot springs, The World Heritage Town of Marpha, Jomsom 2700 meters to Mukinath Temple 3500 meters. This was all arranged with advice from Dinersh. Dinersh has looked after three of my dear friend’s four children. All who have been with him to Everest Base camp & various treks. These were all hugely successful & lead by Dinersh himself. We were not on a trek but his input & advice was invaluable. He found us an experienced driver, Kumar to take us on our mountain adventure. He was wonderful so kind & caring. Slightly unusual circumstances to consider was my injury. I was recovering from a complex fracture of the lower leg & ankle & on crutches! However, it was an amazing experience for me. I achieved far more than I ever expected & now have such precious memories. Through the advice from Dinersh & the careful consideration of our driver I cannot rate this company & all their contacts more highly. Throughout our travels in Nepal I have met such very special people. Dinersh & his team are very much a part of this special band. They were just “1st class”

 Verified Absolutely incredible experience! Highly recommend!
I met Dinesh 13 years ago, when he was working as a Guide. I am so proud of him for setting up such an amazing company. During the booking phase of my Nepal trip Dinesh was always available to answer all my questions. He was so helpful. In March 2024 I headed to Nepal to complete the Mardi Himal trek. My Guide Chhabin and Porter Santosh from Nature Explore Trek made this such a wonderful experience for me. I always felt happy, safe and confident trekking with them. They were both so helpful and so kind. Dinesh personally met me at the airport to welcome me back to Nepal and was in contact with me throughout my stay. I would 100% recommend trekking with Nature Explore Trek. I am already very excited to return to Nepal and trek with them again, thank you so much for building amazing memories with me!

 Verified Excellent Langtang Trek
My trek with Nature Explore in Langtang Valley was an unforgettable experience. Deepak, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured our safety throughout the journey. He responded well to our requests and was very proactive in meeting our needs. The scenic beauty of Langtang Valley is breathtaking, and the trek was well-organized. I highly recommend Nature Explore for anyone looking for an adventure in the Himalayas.

 Verified Trip to Muktinath and earlier Family Treks
Dinesh has been a guide to my family over many years. Two daughters trekked to Everest Base camp. One returned for second trek. Son has done three separate treks, including the Annapurna Trail. He then took on ‘Dad’ and arranged a 4 day trip to Muktinath, with an excellent driver, Kumar. Everything thought through, including extra care re altitude sickness What an amazing Quality of Service my family and I have received from Dinesh and his company, Nature Explore over these many years, Inc. March 2024. I cannot recommend Dinesh more highly. Definitely 5Stars.

 Verified Great beginner trek in Nepal
We did the Pikey Peak trek in January. This is an excellent walk with some of the best views I’ve had in Nepal. Dinesh and his team at Nature Explore organized the trip

 Verified Once in a lifetime trip with a stellar crew
This trip was hands-down one of the best trips I've ever been on. It was definitely challenging (~13,000 ft is no joke) but the food, the views, the hikes, the views, the company, did I mention the views, all of it was fantastic. Dinesh and his crew were amazing: they clearly have deep experience and training to be as safe and competent as they are, but they go the extra mile to make sure people are getting what they need, when they need it. If we go back to Nepal, you can be sure we'll be calling Dinesh.

 Verified Amazing trip to ABC
I joined the trip solo, but made a bunch of amazing friends on this trip, and a lot of that is owed to Dinesh and his team of guides and porters helping us all along the way. They were warm and generous with every part of the trip. Dinesh was super thoughtful as he captured moments to be remembered, such as sunrise at Poonhill and ABC, and even our group yoga classes. I would love to go on another trek with the guides of Nature Explore

 Verified Wonderful and Trustworthy Guide Company
Dinesh and his team were just wonderful! They were well organized throughout our trekking and were always nice and friendly. The hike was out of this world. The combination of amazing scenery, high elevation, physical and mental obstacles, beautiful souls in our group, delicious food, and expert guides created a special experience that will stay with us forever. We'll go back to Nepal for sure, and this time will be Everest base camp with Dinesh. 🤞

 Verified Best trek experience, best guides
Thanks so much to Dinesh and his team for their warm, engaged, thoughtful and consistent assistance on our ABC trek this past October. There are a couple other reviews here of that trip and their wonderful support. I’ll add that Dinesh was available as well in addressing questions I had prior to the start of the trip to help put my mind at ease. From those moments going forward and through the entirety of the trip, I felt I was in good hands. Everything was well planned and communicated. Where there were surprises, they easily and calmly helped with a solution, such as when I’d somehow lost my rain layer mid-trip and they helped me set up a DIY trash bag rain layer which worked fantastic. Since many or most of us (~20 total) were new to high altitude hut-to-hut trekking there were of course a lot of expressed nerves about how things would go. The team’s support kept us at ease. Plus these guys were kind and funny. A pleasure to be around. A big thank you to them!
