This place gives you stunning views of the Himalayan range of peaks- the Dorje Lakpa, Gauri Shankar, the Langtang Lirung and Melungtse. You can take a short hike over the village and admire the panoramic view of these cliffs. The mountain bike trip from Dhulikhel to Namobuddha is another popular tourist activity. During this three-hour trail you will cover- Kali Temple, villages of Faskot and Kavre, and once you finally reach Tibetan monastery at the hilltop, you will find Namobuddha below.
