We'll collect you at 8:00, walk from Dhapasi to the stupa, eat lunch, then continue to Dhulikhel for the drive home. 📋 Key Details Day length: About eight hours Ages: 6 and up Shrine: Namo Buddha at 1,750 m Lunch: At a local restaurant Start: 8:00 hotel pickup 🥾 What to Expect The drive leaves Kathmandu around 8:00 and takes about an hour and a half to Dhapasi. From there you'll walk about an hour and a half up to Namo Buddha. At the hill you'll visit the stupa, the shrines, and the stone slab that shows Prince Mahasattva and the tigress. Lunch is at a local restaurant, with time in the Newar villages around the hill. Cover shoulders and knees at the shrine, and take a few minutes at the stone slab before you sit down to eat. The last hour of walking runs across to Dhulikhel. On a clear afternoon the snow line sits on the horizon. The vehicle meets you there and drives you back to the hotel around 16:00. 📍 Location Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery sits on a small hill in Kavre, east of Kathmandu, at the Namo Buddha shrine. The stupa marks the story of Prince Mahasattva, and the stone slab beside it tells that story in relief. Dhapasi is the start of the walk. Dhulikhel is the ridge town where the vehicle waits for the drive home. Both sit on the same east-valley road, so the day stays on one line out of the city and back. ✅ Prerequisites You do not need previous hiking experience. You should be happy walking about an hour and a half uphill and an hour across to Dhulikhel. The minimum age is 6. Bring water, sturdy shoes, and clothes that cover shoulders and knees at the shrine. Tell us about any medical needs before you come. 💛 Why Choose Us Day walks carry the same Lazimpat pattern we have used for two decades: an English-speaking guide at 8:00, hotel pickup inside Kathmandu, and a vehicle waiting at the far end. The guide stays with you from the lobby through the shrine and lunch. The office holds the hotel name so the drive home is already in the plan. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included English-speaking hiking guide Hotel pickup and drop-off in Kathmandu Private vehicle to Dhapasi and from Dhulikhel Lunch at a local restaurant Time at Namo Buddha stupa and shrines ### What’s not included Breakfast and dinner Tips for the guide and driver Trail snacks and extra drinks Travel insurance ### Kit list Water bottle and trail snacks Trek trousers and modest clothes for the shrine Hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses Hiking pole if you use one Small first-aid kit ## FAQs ### How is the day paced? We'll collect you at 8:00 from your Kathmandu hotel and drive about an hour and a half to Dhapasi. From there you'll walk about an hour and a half up to Namo Buddha at 1,750 metres. After time at the shrine and lunch in a local restaurant, you'll walk about an hour to Dhulikhel. The vehicle meets you in Dhulikhel and drives you back to the hotel around 16:00. The whole outing is about eight hours, including the road time. ### What will we see at Namo Buddha? Namo Buddha sits at 1,750 metres in Kavre, about 38 kilometres east of Kathmandu. The stupa and shrines mark the place where, in the story, Prince Mahasattva offered his body to a starving tigress and her cubs. A stone slab beside the stupa shows that scene. From the hill you look over the villages below and, on a clear afternoon, the snow line. Dress modestly at the shrine. ### Is this suitable for children? The minimum age is 6. Children walk the same path as the adults, with hotel pickup and a vehicle waiting in Dhulikhel. The walking is graded easy: about an hour and a half up and about an hour across to Dhulikhel. Younger walkers should be used to a few hours on dirt paths. ### How fit do I need to be? You do not need previous hiking experience. You should be happy walking about an hour and a half uphill and an hour across to Dhulikhel, with time at the shrine in between. A hiking pole helps on the descent toward Dhulikhel. We'll walk at a pace the group can hold. ### Is lunch included? Lunch is at a local restaurant after the shrine visit, with time in the Newar villages around the hill. Bring water and a snack for the walk up. Breakfast and dinner are not included. You'll be back at the hotel around 16:00, in time to eat in Kathmandu. ### What should I pack? Bring a water bottle, trail snacks, trek trousers, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, a small first-aid kit, and a hiking pole if you use one. Cover shoulders and knees at the shrine. Your guide will give you time at the stupa and the stone slab before lunch. ### Can I cancel? You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund, in line with the Flexible policy. If cloud sits on the hill, the walk still runs; the snow line may be hidden. We'll keep the same shrine and village plan. ### Where do we meet? We'll collect you from your Kathmandu hotel at 8:00. Have the hotel name ready when you book. Pickup covers hotels inside the city. If you are staying outside the ring road, tell us so we can plan the extra drive toward Dhapasi. ### Is a certificate included? This is a guided day walk, not a qualification course. You will not receive an award. Your English-speaking guide stays with you from the hotel pickup through the shrine, lunch, and the walk to Dhulikhel. ### What is included? The booking includes the English-speaking guide, private vehicle, hotel pickup and drop-off, and lunch at a local restaurant. Tips, extra drinks, snacks on the trail, and personal shopping in the villages are not included. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ef01ac52-9b7a-4454-ac72-1c3e73247946-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
