Additional Information

A mere 40 kilometers from Kathmandu, one can find a sacred pilgrimage destination revered by Buddhists worldwide. It’s believed that in this very spot, a compassionate prince, known as Mahasattva (sometimes considered a reincarnation of Buddha himself) came upon a severely malnourished tigress and her newborn quintet of cubs. Overwhelmed by sympathy, he made the ultimate sacrifice, offering his own flesh as sustenance. When his brothers later sought to find him, they happened upon only his skeletal remains and hair strands, upon which the famous NAMO BUDDHA stupa was constructed.

The KHOPASI-BALTHALHI HIKE route showcases a variety of sights to marvel at such as intricate terraced rice paddies, quintessential Newari settlements, winter-kissed mountain peaks on a clear day, Buddhist sanctuaries, and vibrant green forests. Our exclusive bus service will transport us to Batase Danda, marking the start of our adventure.
