Day Visit to Kopan Monastery

Kopan Monastery is a serene, sacred place that lies on the Himalayan foothills inside Kathmandu Valley, which is surrounded by lush green forests. Despite being a sacred place for Buddhists, it welcomes visitors from around the world following their religions or cultures.

The monastery in Kapan is stunningly gorgeous with large open space grounds and gardens at the back, which offer you the breathtaking view of Kathmandu Valley, hills, mountains, and beyond. The place is popular for Buddhists to study, meditate, retreat, and practice. The atmosphere here is charged with the spiritual energy that is almost tangible, which gives you a life-changing experience.

You can also find decent restaurants serving delicious food and book stores with many works in English. The visitors may enter the stupa typically from 9 am to 5 pm.
