Nepal Himalayas, Kathmandu Valley
The Most Gorgeous Sunrise in Nepal over the Himalayan Mountain Range - if you want to find a meditative and serene spot out of the hubbub of Kathmandu this is it - Namobuddha Monastery only 90 minutes from crazy Kathmandu.
You can stay inexpenisvely in either a monk room (bare bones but cheap - $5) or in the guesthouse, I stayed there, it was more comfy with a view. $8 per night. No internet. But glorious place to meditate - superb place to be solo and serene.
The monastery food is all white. Starch and no protein or veggies. You can buy low cost food at one of the Nepali home restaurants next to the guesthouse. Eggs made by a woman who cooks out of her kitchen. Lovely families.
Highly recommend this if you want to be 90 min to Kathmandu.
You can also meditate and sit with the monks chanting in the morning - in an incredible temple that makes you feel like you are in Tibet. Better than Tibet as Tibetans can no longer practice Buddhism in Tibet and have to call it China now.
Go to Namobuddha monastery, just walking in the hills here will give you a holy re-charge.
From Kathmandu, only 90 minutes.
