★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · from $104

Half-day trip from Kathmandu to Namo Buddha and Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery with free admissions, included lunch, and great hill views.

“Took a taxi for namo buddha from hotel grand Kathmandu. It costed around 9000 nepali rupees. He came and picked up at 12 and we were back by 7 pm. The trip was not worth it. Very bad road and too much traffic and at the end been to the monestry for some half an hour. So don't put it on your list unless you have no other option. Chandragiri is far better place and has better view.”

“This was a great experience! I was slightly nervous due to the low price, but it exceeded my expectations with my guide (Dipendra) having great knowledge and kept me very much engaged answering all of my questions and was very nice and friendly. Definitely worth the money, and I even tipped, which I usually don't do (and would have done more if I had more cash).”
