Kathmandu Dhulikhel Namobuddha Tour: Explore Nepal’s Cultural and Religious Sites

The Kathmandu Dhulikhel Namobuddha Tour is a journey through some of the most popular and culturally significant sites in Nepal. These locations are close to the capital city of Kathmandu, allowing travelers to explore comfortably within a short time.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square – A UNESCO World Heritage Site

The tour begins with a full day of sightseeing at Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in medieval culture and history. Often referred to as an open museum, it features preserved historical monuments such as palaces, temples, pagodas, and hand-crafted peacock windows, showcasing Nepal’s rich Hindu culture.

Changu Narayan Temple – Nepal’s Oldest Temple

Located 6.6 km north of Bhaktapur is Changu Narayan Temple, the oldest temple in Nepal, built in 323 AD by King Hari Datta Varma. This double-roofed pagoda-style temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and offers scenic views of the rice fields of Bhaktapur. After restoration from the 2015 earthquake damage, it now welcomes visitors once again. On the way to Dhulikhel, stop at Sanga to see the world’s largest Mahadev Statue, which draws 8,000 to 10,000 visitors on weekends and even more during religious festivals.

Dhulikhel – Himalayan Views and Natural Beauty

The real hike begins in Dhulikhel, a town known for its beautiful landscapes and Himalayan views. You’ll pass through forests, rivers, and streams, enjoying a scenic route that includes temples dedicated to Kali and Shiva. Dhulikhel is also rich in cultural diversity and Newar heritage, with bare-brick houses, carved wooden windows, and sacred statues lining the streets. As a popular weekend destination near Kathmandu, it’s a great spot to experience traditional Nepali life.

Stay at a lodge managed by Nepal Tour Guide™ and catch the sunrise with views of the Himalayan peaks. From Dhulikhel, you’ll take a short drive to Namobuddha, one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Nepal.

Namobuddha – A Sacred Buddhist Pilgrimage Site

Namobuddha, located at an elevation of 1,750 meters, is one of the three major Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Nepal, along with Boudhanath and Swayambhunath. The Stupa and shrines on this serene hill mark the site where a legendary prince, Mahasattva, offered himself to a starving tigress. This compassionate act is depicted on a stone slab next to the Stupa.
