The story surrounding this area goes that a little prince saw a weak and hungry tigress laying on the ground with small cubs on his hunting tour in the area. The prince saw that the tigress and her cubs were hungry but had nothing to offer immediately. Eventually he fed his own flesh and blood to this striving tiger family. That young prince was off course little Buddha. Commemorating that great story, there is a famous shrine and stone slab featuring the history on the top of hill with great panorama of Himalaya and downhill villages.

Take a scenic trek to Namo Buddha, a stunning location perched at a height of 5,740 feet (1,750 meters) in the Kavre district. This spot serves as a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site located approximately 23 miles (38 kilometers) to the east of Kathmandu. The stupa and shrines constructed on this charming small hill represent an extremely old sacred site which symbolizes the location where a mythological prince known as Mahasattva sacrificed himself to a hungry tigress with a few malnourished cubs.
