Namobuddha, an ancient Buddhist monastery situated at an altitude of 1,750 meters, is surrounded by Tamang settlements. There is a special Buddhist legend about King Mahasattva offering his body to a hungry tigress at this very place, which makes Namobuddha a holy site for Buddhists. If you like longish hikes (five hours?), this is the one for you. To reach Namobuddha, get a bus from Lagankhel to Dhulikhel. From Dhulikhel, start your hike. You will see a number of temples and witness great variations in landscapes throughout this hike, in what will be a perfect weekend getaway!
