After about a five hour walk, we finally reached Namobuddha, a fairly pokey Buddhist temple sitting isolated atop a hill. The temple marks the spot where the Buddha was wandering about Nepal and came across a tiger about to eat a child, and the Buddha offered up his own flesh if the tiger spared the child (to end the suspense, the tiger spares both). It's quite a beauty spot, and the day we came there was some community festival, and we had a bit to eat and drink with the celebrants. All in all, a great day out, but one last word of warning before you set out. The word Circuit in Namobuddha Circuit is misleading, since once you get to your destination, your only choice is to retrace your steps all the way back to Dhulikhel.
