About Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu

Kopan Monastery is an educational and spiritual institution, located on the outskirts of Kathmandu city near the Boudhanath Stupa in the valley region. Although it looks quite antique, its foundation was laid only in the last century. Lamas Thubten Yeshe and Thubten Zopa Rinpoche bought the land on which Kopan Monastery stands from Nepal’s royal astrologer and set up this institution. Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu is a member of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, or in short FPMT. It is an international network of dharma centres based on Gelugpa faith, introduced into Tibetan Buddhism by Je Tsongkhapa in the late 14th century. Kopan Monastery once used to be the headquarters for FPMT. Now it is a nunnery, a study centre and a monastic shrine which draws a crowd considerably. Kopan Monastery Kathmandu Nepal has become quite a popular destination for foreigners, who are looking for a spiritual retreat and want to explore the famous Oriental faith of mystique lands of Tibet.

Spiritual Courses and Retreats:

FPMT students can stay here and explore the depths of Buddhism with the help of the different courses and retreats available. ‘Discover Buddhism’ is the all year-long course, while ‘The Next Step’ is a more in-depth, intense study of the religion and Kopan Monastery meditation. There is a daily 90-min Dharma talk session scheduled from Monday to Friday at 10:30 am. The Group and Private Kopan Monastery Retreat options are preferred by many for a peaceful week, delving deep into their own consciousness. The courses here are taught mostly based on the traditional Lam Rim – the holy text of Tibetan Buddhism showing the path towards enlightenment as told by Buddha. The texts are accompanied by informal conversations and guided meditation.

Kopan Monastery Shop:

There is a Kopan Monastery shop which sells a range of handicraft and other souvenir items, meditation equipment, audio CDs and spiritual books for you to take home. There are provisions for custom-made gift items as well. All the proceeds from this shop go to the monastery, the nunnery and the education of the monks.

    Yogson's 8 days trip to kathmandu

    It was an Awesome Trip to Nepal. Travel triangle provided number of quotations for our 8 days vacation trip. We were 8 adults & 4 kids joined together from different places (Chennai, Dubai, Mumbai, Bengaluru). I found very good & well managed itinerary offered by Snowyoda Expeditions Pvt Ltd Nepal.
    Mr Sumit from Snowyoda explained & cleared all of our queries & doubts and he offered really awesome accommodation in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan & Nagarkot. Snowyoda has well maintained vehicles, we used Toyota HiAce Van & 2 times an SUV (for personal), both vehicles were very comfortable. Our Van Driver Mr Krishna also very cooperative & well drive the vehicle. Whenever we needed, Mr Sumit from Snowyoda helped us for various queries & response was really appreciated. I really appreciate Travel Triangle Agent Varsha & Snowyoda for making our Nepal trip memorable, smooth and relaxing. Thanks to Snowyoda. Regards Yogson Tembhre Chennai - India +91 8939306640

    I booked a Nepal trip through Snowyoda Expedition via the Travel Triangle portal in the first week of December 2024. The service provided by Snowyoda was exceptional, including their pricing, coordination, commitment, and expertise in handling day-to-day challenges. Our main point of contact, Mr. Ab
    hishek from Snowyoda, offered outstanding service and dedication. Additionally, the drivers at all destinations (Santosh, Arjun, and Shyam) were well-trained and courteous. I highly recommend Snowyoda to anyone planning a memorable trip to Nepal. Thanks, Guru/Hetal

    Nivedita's 7 days trip to kathmandu

    Outstanding Luxury Trip Experience in Nepal Our recent luxury trip to Nepal was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the impeccable planning and attention to detail by Sumit. Visiting the stunning regions of Pokhara and Kathmandu, we were constantly amazed by the beauty of the Himalayas and the
    rich cultural experiences. Sumit’s meticulous attention to every minute detail, including handling last-minute changes seamlessly, ensured that our journey was flawless. Special mention must go to Santhosh, our driver, who was exceptionally helpful and friendly. His willingness to go above and beyond our expectations made traveling with a toddler surprisingly easy and enjoyable. His dedication truly enhanced our trip. Traveling with our young child could have been challenging, but the smooth organization and care provided turned it into a delightful adventure filled with fun and memorable moments. We had such an incredible time that we are already looking forward to our next trip with this fantastic team. Thank you for making our experience in Nepal truly unforgettable! Warm regards, Nivy

    Rajesh's 10 days trip to kathmandu

    I am Rajesh Bhagwat from Pune, i am very much happy to write that my vacation planned by TRAVEL TRIANGLE through WEECARE HOLIDAYS was extremely good. Mr. Prabin of Wecare Holidays planned my VACATION in a very systematic way and as per my needs. I was traveling with my Gurudev whose age is 79, but
    due his proper planning of the sight seeing and consciously selected Hotels my journey was fantastic. He made sure to make us see the most of the fantastic places in NEPAL. Mr. Prabin has been so co-operative through out my journey, he attended each and every call of my tough he was with his family. HATS OFF TO PRABIN. God bless you PRABIN, WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY DIWALI AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

    Amit's 7 days trip to kathmandu

    I am recently back from my amazing week-long tour from Nepal. The memory is still fresh in my mind, and I am excited to share my experience with those who are reading it now. I normally book my tour through Travel Triangle platform who can connect me to more than one trusted and verified local tour
    agencies to choose my favorite itinerary. This time it was Snowyoda Expeditions Pvt. Ltd., who came up with the best plan and quote. Sumit from Snowyoda assisted me with alterations as per my need and managing the entire tour plan and communications. The accommodations were perfect for me, transportations were comfortable enough. Both the local drivers, Rabi Thapa (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Nagarkot) and Arjun (in Pokhara), were good, decent persons and flexible enough with timings and places to visit. Look, there is nothing new that I can add to Nepal’s beauty or pilgrimage values. But I can strongly recommend that the only two factors that can influence your experience are “the weather” and “your plan”. You can choose a good time to visit and expect mother nature to be merciful to you. And at the same time, you have to trust on someone experienced enough to plan your tour. I believe I made the best out of my time in Nepal, whether I was paragliding in Sarangkot or enjoying the lakeside serenity of Phewa Tal or simply sitting by the shrine of Pashupatinath ji during Arati. I thank Snowyoda because I never had to worry about anything else apart from what I am going to see next. I believe, Snowyoda will keep continuing to help people like me to return with blissful experiences from Nepal.

    Phani's 8 days trip to kathmandu

    We spent 7 nights and 8 days visiting Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Jomsom (Muktinath). Mr. Abhishek helped us plan the trip, select hotels, and create an itinerary tailored to our needs. Initially hesitant in choosing an agency, I decided on Snowyoda after speaking with Mr. Abhishek. He exceeded our expe
    ctations, being available throughout the trip to ensure we enjoyed a seamless experience. Any adjustments I made during the trip were accommodated easily. Our journey was smooth and hassle-free. I also want to highlight our driver, Mr. Santosh, who was very helpful and ensured our comfort throughout. Overall, the quality of the hotels, vehicles, and service delivery was exceptional, exceeding our expectations. Unlike many agencies that prioritize profit over customer satisfaction, they genuinely focused on providing a great experience. We highly recommend their services for a well-organized and enjoyable travel experience.
