How to reach Nama Buddha from Thamel
Taxi: Will be quite expensive if you are going one way since he may not get anyone coming back down from the monastery. Maybe around $40.
Private car: Might be more costs effective at around the same price as a taxi. Your hotel or any travel agent can arrange this for you.
Public bus: From the Old Bus Park take a bus to Dhulikhel then hike to Nama Buddha.
Accommodation: Where to stay in Namo Buddha
Please make enquires at the monastery to see whether it is possible to stay at the time you wish to go. Otherwise, there is the Namo Buddha Resort, which is an organic farm resort with a sauna and a floatation tank!
