NAGI GUMBA - Blessed to be blissed

  • 1,970 meters

Nagi Gumba is a popular monastery located in the middle of your journey to the Shivapuri Peak from the Pani Muhan. The atmosphere here is enchanting, with the cool breeze and zen vibes flowing here endlessly. Undoubtedly, Nagi Gumba will serve as the perfect place to re-energise your tired body, mind and soul. There are benches kept around the wide field that offers you comfort. Here, you can watch the yellow monastery, watch those flags nearby sway, watch the clouds above float, watch the birds fly, and, best of all, watch yourself loving the peace within you and around you. Indeed, much here is to be loved. For instance, a small glimpse of the simple life lived here by the nuns in service of the monastery and its visitors will please your hearts. You will see grown women and little girls wrapped in red sari, yellow shirt and red shawl living the life of a 'Ani', a buddhist nun. They don't have much but warm hospitality, humble words, and a beautiful smile to give you, always and anytime! Since only nuns live here, this place is also known as Ani Gumba. Note that Ani Gumba is not only a monastery, but also a residential school for young nuns. They are taught the wise words of Lord Buddha, soulful prayers, and all about a simple yet suffice lifestyle. Not only that, the school equips the girls with all the knowledge of the world of maths and science as well! Hence, one can see rows of classrooms around the gumba along with residential rooms. Also, don't forget to spend some time around the residential building with a small garden and a splendid view that is just a couple of minutes down the exit/entrance gate of the Gumba. Also, if you want to spend more time here and want to experience meditating at this Gumba, you are always welcome. Infact, ask if you could spend a couple of days there. If places are empty and your budget allows then they might say Yes!
