Kopan Monastery
Kopan Monastery sits above Kathmandu and welcomes day visitors to its Buddhist setting. Its prayer halls and grounds offer a focused visit with views from the northern valley slopes.
The monastery grounds and prayer-hall setting put Buddhist learning within a visible valley landscape. From the northern slopes, the city lies below while the monastery remains an active place of practice. This gives a day visit both cultural and geographic interest; keep the pace quiet and respect any areas reserved for monastic life.
