About This Tour
About This Tour
Nepal is one of the holiest lands in Hinduism — home to Pashupatinath (the abode of Lord Shiva), Muktinath (where salvation is granted), Janakpur (birthplace of Goddess Sita), and dozens of other temples and shrines that draw millions of pilgrims each year. The Nepal Hindu Pilgrimage Tour visits the most significant sites in a single comprehensive journey, guided by a scholar with deep knowledge of Hindu philosophy, ritual, and tradition.
The tour moves from the ghats of Pashupatinath in Kathmandu to the Terai plains of Janakpur (with its magnificent Janaki Mandir), to the cable car ride to Manakamana (the wish-fulfilling temple), and finally to Muktinath at 3,800m, where natural gas flames burn alongside holy water springs in a setting sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists.
