Lose yourself in the world of real-life Buddhist monks at Namkha Khyung Dzong Monastery, with an intimate walk through its hymn rooms, courtyards and temples, meeting resident monks along the way. This spiritual centre was  built in 1906 on the Tibetan border, before being destroyed in 1959 and later rebuilt by monks practising Namkha’s particular Hindu and Buddhist traditions. As you explore, the sacred Krishna and Budanilkanth Sleeping Vishnu Temples are testament to their work; it’s a soul-stirring experience, accompanied by valley views and lunch at nearby Shivapuri Heights Cottage. 

You can add this experience to any tailor-made itinerary that includes a night in Kathmandu.
