Trip Overview

The Buddhist tour in the Kathmandu Valley is a popular tour, which offers visitors the opportunity to explore the rich Buddhist heritage of the country. Nepal is a landlocked country located in South Asia, bordered by India to the south, east, and west, and China to the north. It is known for its spectacular mountain ranges, including Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, and for its diverse cultures, religions, and traditions.

Kathmandu possesses an important Buddhist pilgrimage site, the Swoyambhunath Stupa, and the Bouddhanath Stupa, which are all important sites for Buddhists. Buddhism has a long and rich history in Nepal, dating back to the time of the Buddha himself. According to legend, the Buddha was born in Lumbini, a town located in the western part of Nepal, and spent much of his life in the region that is now modern-day Nepal.

Around Kathmandu Valley, we explore Pharping and Namobuddha within this tour. The tour will provide an opportunity to explore the rich Buddhist heritage and culture of Nepal.
