Day 2 : Sightseeing at Pashupatinath, Guheshwori, and Kathmandu Durbar Square
The day starts with a visit to Pashupatinath Temple, the holiest Shiva shrine and a UNESCO site where daily rituals, cremations, and evening aarti attract thousands. After that, we walk to Guheshwori Temple, dedicated to Goddess Parvati as Adi Shakti, believed to be the Shakti Peetha of Kathmandu. Later, we explore Kathmandu Durbar Square with Hanuman Dhoka Palace and courtyards full of artistic temples, learning how religion and monarchy shaped Nepal’s culture. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Day 3 : Sightseeing at Dakshinkali and Swayambhunath
We take a car to the Dakshinkali Temple, which is dedicated to Goddess Kali and still uses old animal sacrifices as an offering. This trip shows you the fierce side of Hindu dedication. We keep going to Swayambhunath Stupa, which is also called the Monkey Temple and is a place where Hindu and Buddhist beliefs come together in the afternoon. We have a great view of Kathmandu Valley from the top of the hill. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Day 4 : Drive to Manakamana and then Pokhara
Today’s highlight is the cable car ride to Manakamana Temple, the famous wish-fulfilling shrine of Goddess Bhagwati. Pilgrims believe that heartfelt prayers here come true. After puja, we descend and continue our scenic drive to Pokhara. On the way, we pass through green hills, rivers, and villages. If time allows, we may stop for a short break at Begnas Lake before reaching Pokhara. Evening is free for exploring the lakeside. Overnight in Pokhara.

- Best Season to Travel
The ideal time for a Hindu pilgrimage in Nepal is between September and June. During these months, the skies are usually clear, and the weather is comfortable for traveling. This period also matches Nepal’s biggest Hindu festivals like Dashain (a celebration of good over evil) and Tihar (festival of lights), making the journey even more meaningful. If you travel during these times, you won’t just visit temples—you’ll actually be part of Nepal’s living traditions.
- Festivals
Joining a pilgrimage during a festival makes the experience unforgettable. For example, during Maha Shivaratri at Pashupatinath Temple, thousands of pilgrims and sadhus (holy men) from all over South Asia gather to honor Lord Shiva. The atmosphere is filled with chants, incense, and deep devotion. Being present at such moments allows travelers to connect not only with spirituality but also with Nepal’s vibrant cultural life.
- Dress Code
Respect is very important at Hindu sacred sites. Visitors should wear modest clothing—this means covering shoulders and knees. Lightweight long pants or skirts and simple tops work best. Before entering a temple courtyard, you must remove your shoes as a sign of purity. Carrying a scarf or shawl is handy when visiting multiple temples.
- Ritual Participation
Temples in Nepal welcome visitors to observe rituals such as pujas (offerings and prayers) or aartis (ceremonial light rituals). Even if you don’t fully understand the chants, the energy is powerful. At Pashupatinath Temple, non-Hindus are not allowed inside the main sanctum (where the Shiva lingam is placed), but they can still watch the ceremonies from outside and feel the spiritual vibrations. This makes the experience both inclusive and respectful.
- Accessibility
The Hindu pilgrimage tour is designed for travelers of all ages. Most temples are easily reached by car or bus, making it comfortable for elderly visitors too. Some shrines may require a short uphill walk or climbing a few steps, but it is never as challenging as trekking in the Himalayas.
- Altitude
Unlike trekking routes that go above 3,000 meters, these temples are all at low to moderate elevations. This means you don’t have to worry about altitude sickness, making the tour easy and safe for families, children, and older pilgrims.
- Food
Food plays a sacred role in Hindu culture. Around temples, you will find stalls offering pure vegetarian meals and prasad (blessed food offered to the gods and shared among devotees). Hotels and restaurants along the route serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, so travelers have flexibility according to their preferences.
- Transportation
Traveling between temples is made easy with comfortable private vehicles arranged for you. The highlight for many is the cable car ride to Manakamana Temple, which is modern, safe, and gives you stunning views of green valleys and snow-capped peaks as you glide toward the sacred site.
- Photography
Visitors are free to take photos in temple courtyards and surroundings, capturing rituals, architecture, and the colorful atmosphere. However, photography is restricted inside main sanctums like Pashupatinath to preserve sanctity. Always check signs or ask your guide before taking pictures.
- Health & Safety
No special vaccinations are required for this tour, but it’s wise to carry basic medicines like those for headaches, stomach upsets, or colds. Nepal is generally safe for pilgrims and travelers. Following your guide’s instructions and respecting temple rules will ensure a smooth and meaningful journey.
