After a mesmerizing journey morning a short drive to Namobuddha a holy Buddhist sites. One of the unsurpassable supreme sacred sites known as the Three Stupas in Nepal is Tagmo Lüjin (lit. \"The place where the future Buddha sacrificed his body to a tigress\") It is the very sacred place where supreme Buddha-at that time still on the path of learning-offered his own body without regret to a tigress suffering from great hunger. What follows is a history of this supreme and distinguished sacred site, whose location is unmistaken based on the clear identification given in the Sutra Requested by the Tigress and so forth.
From here with interesting and impressive time drive back to Kathmandu which is 35 k.m distance, on reaching Kathmandu transfer to respective hotels.

A fantastic trip arranged in Kathmandu office and guided by Anmol. We had such a great time and Anmol made it all the more fun. It was my birthday whilst we were trekking and he made a special effort to find a cake and a candle to celebrate! His thoughtfulness and kindness really made this trip for me and I would absolutely recommend having him as your guide for not only this but also as he made us feel safe throughout the trip.
