Pharping,19 km south of Kathmandu in Nepal, is known as the sacred site of Yangleshö, famous for both Hinduism and Buddhism where Guru Padmasambhava (Guru Rimpoche, known as lotus born God who spread Tibetan Buddhism in Tibeat) attained the level of Mahamudra vidyadhara. Other important religious sites are Vajrayogini temple, Shesnarayan temple, Gorakhnath temple and self-arising Ganesh near Asura Cave. Further south lays Dakshinkali temple, the temple dedicated to Goddess Kali. Devotees sacrifice chickens, goats, sheep and many more as an offering to the goddess. Dakshinkali is famous as a blood thirsty incarnation of goddess Parvati, consort of Shiva. It is believed that Buddhist deity Manjushree cut out the hill at Chobhar and drained away the waters to establish a habitable land making a underground Palace at Taudaha Lake for all creatures including serpents to live there. It is the perfect place to have a peaceful time.

Pherping is a peaceful village located about 20 km south of Kathmandu, at an altitude of 1,600 meters. It is known for its serene environment, natural beauty, and proximity to Pharping, a sacred Buddhist site with historical significance. Pherping offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and is a popular base for short treks and spiritual retreats, making it an ideal escape from the city.

I met with Prabha at the hotel. She was on time and very kind and friendly. She answered all my questions. I learned a lot from here. By end of the day we were friends. I highly recommend her and this tour.
