Dhulikhel Namobuddha Balthali Hike

Namobuddha Balthali Hike Overview

Namobuddha Balthali Hike is one of the best cultural trekking trails through beautiful hamlets, terraced farmlands, and religious heritages around Kathmandu. This 3-day trip outside Kathmandu offers an excursion through the spiritual Namobuddha Monastery, beautiful villages, and pristine landscape on the way that takes you to the charming hamlet of Balthali. This 3-day short trip from Kathmandu Valley to Balthali, stopping at Namobuddha, is the best choice for novice and senior travelers as it offers a trekking experience with a pleasant walk. 

From Kathmandu, our private transportation drops us at Dhulikhel, then the hike begins to Namobuddha, one of the most significant Buddhist sacred sites, and visit the outstanding premises of Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery at Namobuddha. It is one of the most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in Nepal; this is the place where Shakyamuni Buddha was believed to have his body sacrificed to feed a starving tigress and her cobs some 6,000 years ago in his previous life.

The Himalayan panorama of Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Gaurishanker range can be seen from the trek. Balthali village is a beautiful location and a plain land region, surrounded by green hills. The hike to Balthali is outstanding due to the sub-hike to Ladkeshor Mahadev, located beside the Roshi Khola (River). The scenery around is so wonderful that you will forget everything and focus on the praise of nature and rejoice in your holiday.
