One can take a local bus from New Bus Park Kathmandu around 1 to 2 hrs to Banepa and then change there to the Stupa one before 9 am. This bus passes Dhulikhel so it’s possible to catch up it there. Or get a bus to Kavre Bhanjyang and then trek remaining 9km to Namo Buddha.

One can also trek from Banepa to Namo Buddha passing through Panauti and Sangkhu. As alternative, trek from Dhulikhel to Namo Buddha(3hrs).
