An short excursion tour and hiking to Namo Buddha Hill with Helambu Himalayas

Namo Buddha situated between Banepa and Panauti, is a famous Buddhist pilgrimage site as well as a favored stopover for trekkers. Rows of Buddhist stupas adorned with fluttering prayer flags are there to soothe tired trekkers and visited by scores of pilgrims every year. Yet what draws their attention most is an image of the Lord Buddha in his compassionate manifestation. There is a legend behind the reverence of this place. According to the Buddhist legend, the King Mahasattva gave his body to a hungry tigress at this place. His reliquary Stupa remained underground for centuries. One day a hermit called Bhagavan (Sakyamuni) came to this site and got attracted to the bulge.

It is said that he clapped his hands, and miraculously the Stupa appeared. It is also 3 hours hike from the Dhulikhel Bazar Hill. The carved stone image portrays a popular legend, which relates that the Lord Buddha in his previous incarnation had offered his own flesh to save a starving tigress and her cubs from the imminent death.
