Description
Immerse yourself in the spiritual ambiance of Kathmandu's sacred stupas and monasteries. Visit Swayambhunath, Jamchen Vijaya Stupa, and Boudhanath, and enjoy a guided meditation.
Begin your spiritual journey with a pickup from your nunnery. Head to Swayambhunath Stupa, the “self-born” shrine said to have emerged from the primordial lotus of the Kathmandu Valley. Walk the sacred path, absorb the peaceful energy, and enjoy panoramic views of the valley below.
Next, drive to Jamchen Vijaya Stupa, a serene monastery perched on a quiet hilltop. Explore the monastery grounds and, if possible, interact with monks, learning about their daily practices, mindfulness, and Buddhist teachings.
Continue to Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest and most sacred Buddhist stupas in the world. Walk around the stupa (circumambulation or kora), observe monks chanting mantras, and optionally enjoy a quiet lunch at a rooftop café overlooking the stupa’s radiant dome.
Enjoy leisure time for reflection, prayer, or a slow walk through the spiritual lanes around the stupa.
