Maratika Halesi Cave Tour - 3 days

After having breakfast at the hotel, drive to Namobuddha Monastery, which is a 1.5-hour drive from Kathmandu. Namobuddha Monastery is a huge spiritual center. It is a monastery of the Sakyapa sect of Himalayan Buddhism. The mythology of the new Buddha and the sacrifice of the prince to feed the tigress is incredible.

From Namobuddha, drive to Maratika cave, through the Riverbank of Roshi Khola and Sun Koshi. It’s about an 8-hour drive to reach the sacred Maratika Cave. On the way, we will stop in a couple of places for meals and refreshments. You will see the evening prayer and visit the cave. Overnight at the hotel.

Well, a beautiful day welcomes us for various activities. Early morning blessings will take us to the Maratika Cave, where hundreds of Hindu and Buddhist devotees will be lining up, worshipping, and taking blessings from priests and Lamas. Right at the entrance, you will get an opportunity to participate in a prayer session in the monastery. 

After this session, hike to the Basaha cave, from where Guru Rinpoche fleed away. It''s an amazing walk inside the cave. 

Then we walk and explore around the area fully dominated by the prayer flags. There is another cave in the middle of a cliff. 

After lunch, we drive to the Naga Cave. This is an amazing attraction on the tour, which is a multi-storied cave. You may not find it suitable to go inside the bottom as it's a narrow way. After the cave exploration, drive to Tuwachung Hill, which is a historical and spiritual destination. Then, drive back to Halesi. Overnight at the resort/hotel. 

It's a reverse road trip of 10 hours all the way from Halesi Maratika Cave to Kathmandu. The refreshment breaks ont he way will be mesmerizing.
