A Hidden Gem Temple in the Suburbs of Kathmandu, Nepal

In the suburbs of Kathmandu, Nepal, there are some lesser-known temples that are worth visiting. Besides the famous attractions such as the three Durbar Squares, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath Temple (Monkey Temple), and Pashupatinath Temple, there are some hidden gems favored by locals, like Jamchen Vijaya Stupa 🕉️. 📍 Google Navigation Address: Jamchen Vijaya Stupa 📍 Distance: About 12 kilometers from Thamel. It is recommended to take a taxi, as the journey will take approximately 40-50 minutes by car. Opening Hours: 10:00-17:00This temple is a stupa built in memory of CHOGYE TRICHEN Rinpoche. It is located on a hillside, and you can see it from a great distance. The location is truly magnificent 🌄. Standing in the temple, you can overlook the entire city of Kathmandu. The panoramic view is breathtaking, as if the whole world is at your feet 🌆. Although there is only one temple, it exudes an aura of solemnity and reverence, giving visitors a sense of being in a "peaceful Buddhist sanctuary." This is a stark contrast to the bustling atmosphere of the popular tourist spots in Kathmandu. Here, it is quiet and serene, making it an ideal place for travelers who want to experience the religious ambiance in a tranquil setting 🌸. There is a stone slab path at the entrance of the temple, which allows you to walk up and down the hill. However, it is recommended that you take a taxi up the hill, as the climb is quite steep and can be tiring 😅. For the descent, you can choose to walk, as it is difficult to find a taxi going down. Unless you negotiate a price with the driver in advance and ask them to wait, it might be challenging to find transportation. The walk from the top of the hill to the village at the foot takes about 40 minutes. Along the way, you can take a break in the village and experience the local lifestyle 😊. It is much easier to find a taxi once you reach the village. #TravelHumanities #Kathmandu #NepalTravel #KathmanduTravelTips #NepalTourism #NepalTemples #HiddenGems #TempleTravel #travel
