We visited Namo Buddha, a hilltop retreat centre a couple of hours away from the Kathmandu valley. Namo Buddha is the place where Lord Buddha, in an earlier life, offered his body to a starving tigress so she could feed her cubs.

Thrangu Rinpoche has a retreat centre at Namo Buddha, so some of our kids were reunited with their relatives, monks who live at Namo Buddha

After a picnic and games in the clean air of Namo Buddha, we came back down into the valley and did kora at the stupa in Swayambu as the sun set. "Three times lucky!" the lamas say, so a very tired bunch of kids cirmumnambulated the Boudhanath stupa before tumbling into bed back at school.
