Trek / Hike to Namobuddha Gomba around Kathmandu in Nepal
Namobuddha Stupa is just east of Kathmandu valley located on the top of the hill. The Gomba celebrates an event in one of the legendary previous lives of the historical Buddha, in which he encountered a starving tigress about to devour a small child, and moved by compassion, offered his own flesh to her - a sacrifice that helped pave the way for his eventual enlightenment.
Namobuddha Gomba has been a big center for Buddhism. The monks, Gopba with praying noise and surroundings are the major attractions of the Bomobuddha. The trek starts with a drive to Panauti a self-sufficient existence in its own small valley, probably the best-preserved Newar town after the Bhaktpur, and goes through Dhulikhel-Nagarkot then descent Shankhu another Newar village, and drive to Kathmandu
