Pharping overnight stay will give an exposure to Buddhism. A weekend in Pharping certainly does not require you to go out of valley though it certainly feels like the same. South of central Kathmandu about an hour brings you to this place, surrounded by Tibetan Buddhist Monastery, Rice terraces with some remarkable Hindu and Buddhist shrines.

Because of its religious significance, Pharping itself is a Buddhist pilgrimage site, where Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche said to have meditated in this holy cave. If we go a bit further, we will reach Dhakshinkali Temple where animal sacrifices are made. We will provide you pick up and drop off from Kathmandu to Pharping.

You are highly recommended to stay in the Neydo Monastery guest house. Which is monastery itself and every morning and evening there is a puja where you can participate. You can learn Buddhism from the monk, and you can certainly relax in this peaceful environment.
