Namobuddha Bhaktapur and Nagarkot Tour

We planned to tour Namobuddha, Bhaktapur, and Nagarkot in one day by Car. As we planned I booked a car and after breakfast in the hotel first, we drove to Namobuddha. While we are driving we had a beautiful mountain view along the way and we stopped at Dhulikhel and enjoyed the mountain view and played traditional swing on the spot.

After an half hour of driving, we reached Namobuddha. Namobuddha itself prevails as one of the popular and important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Nepal. We visited the site and enjoyed the atmosphere around there but unfortunately, we are unable to go inside the monastery and cave. Because the monetary administration closed the gate for travelers due to the pandemic.

In mythology more than 6000 years ago a royal family went hunting in the jungle. The prince shows a sick finger mom with her 6 newborns and they are very hungry. Seeing that the prince decided to sacrifice himself and make alive the tigers. And he give his blood to the mother tiger and in the end, those tigers ate him. After that royal family builds there a stupa and Namobuddha become one of the most important Buddhist sites in Nepal.

From Namobuddha we drove back to Bhaktapur. Bhaktapur is one of the UNESCO Heritage sites in Nepal. Also, it’s historically one of the royal kingdoms of ancient Nepal. To enter the medieval city need to pay a US $15 entrance fee for foreigners but free for Nepali. So that we bought two tickets and then started to walk in this city.

Bhaktapur is known as the Bhadgaun and in Newarli Khopa. This means the city of devotees. In Bhaktapur originally living the Newar people but nowadays there are living people from all over Nepal. Inside the Bhaktapur, there are four squares to visit for tourists. Dhatrataya Square, Taumandi Square, Pottery Square, and the Durbar Square. All the places are very attractive and watchful so we visited all these places and had cop of coffee and enjoyed the test of the king of yogurt (ghughudhao).

Then our trip continue to Nagarkot and we directly drove to the viewpoint of the Nagarkot. We enjoyed the mountains view from the view tower and walked to Hotel. We stayed at the Everest Manla Resort. This hotel has the best mountain view, city view, and landscape view. Again unfortunately we missed the sunset view. In the hotel, we met other Nepali travelers they are enjoying their vacation.

Overall we had a fantastic day enjoying a combination of beautiful nature, traditional historical, cultural, and faithful religions.
