Overview

It is also considered to be one of the most sacred and religious monasteries in Nepal. The monastery itself is located in a very peaceful environment atop a hill of Namobuddha Municipality. It is surrounded by lush greenery with a wide range of mountains visible. The visible mountains here include Mt. Gauri Shankar, Mt. Lakpa Dorje, Mt. Jugal, Mt. Langtang and Mt. Ganesh among others.

Thrangu Tashi Monastery

  • Admission ticket included
Namobuddha, also spelled as Namo Buddha, is a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site located in Kavrepalanchowk District. The site holds deep religious importance for Buddhists and attracts both pilgrims and tourists for its serene and spiritual ambiance. As the legend goes, the main attraction of Namobuddha is the stupa and shrine that stand at the spot where, according to Buddhist tradition, Prince Siddhartha (the future Buddha) encountered a starving tigress and her cubs. Moved by compassion, he offered his own body to the tigress as food, symbolising the ultimate act of selflessness. This compassionate act is considered a significant event in Buddhist folklore.
