The White Gumba a.k.a Seto Gumba in the local language
Situated about 3 kilometers west from the monkey temple Swayambhu, the White Gumba (Seto Gumba) is also known as Druk Amitabh Monastery. A monastery dedicated to female monks or "Ani", is only open to the general public on Saturdays.
Approximately 1450 meters above sea level, view from this monastery is breathtaking with the city on the front and the beautiful white Himalayas at the backdrop. Above all, the view of the sunrise and the sunsets is specially worth experiencing, despite the fact that the monastery is open only from 9am till 5pm :).
Looking at it from a traveler’s point of view Seto Gumba is a bliss of astounding natural rejuvenation that searches excitement as well as calmness. Endorsed with a rich Tibetan culture and architecture, it splurges vivid colors in the murals, statue and paintings professing Buddhism and its techniques. One can get nostalgic in the presence of finding and seeing the explicit environment that melds you in its presence. Winds shouting out loud the music of scenic views and panoramic existence makes you think of what life and you will lose time in absence. Once you get here you will be abided by the smell, sounds and prayer flags that spread around the message of peace, patience, and calmness.
Definitely worth a visit when you are in Kathmandu!
