Spiritual experience to Namo Buddha and Panauti


Located at only 1h ½ distance from Kathmandu, this excursion is a wonderful 2-day immersion in Nepalese culture and legends. Between Buddhism and Hinduism, this hilly region is one of our favorites, hosting some of the oldest temples of Nepal and magnificent rural life contrasting with the modern and tumultuous life of Kathmandu. Welcome to the land of the tangerine…
