Trek Summary
Nepal, where Hinduism and Buddhism coexist in harmony, is a top destination for spiritual travelers. The Nepal Pilgrimage Tour offers a chance to visit key Hindu and Buddhist sites, blending cultural exploration with spiritual enrichment.
In the Kathmandu Valley, explore Pashupatinath, the holiest Hindu temple, and Boudhanath Stupa, a major Buddhist site. Visit Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Dakshinkali Temple, and Budhanilkantha, home to a reclining statue of Lord Vishnu.
On the way to Pokhara, stop at the Manakamana Temple, known for granting wishes. The tour also includes visits to Panauti, Namobuddha, Muktinath in Mustang, and Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha.
Please note that Janakpur, Gosaikunda, and Tengboche Monastery are not included in this tour but can be added on request. Janakpur is a long journey, and traveling there by flight or land can make the tour cost more expensive. Gosaikunda and Tengboche Monastery require more days and challenging treks, making them suitable for those seeking a longer, physically demanding journey.
This Nepal Pilgrimage Tour is customizable, offering a unique opportunity to explore either Hindu or Buddhist sites. Whether for a short retreat or a longer journey, Nepal’s sacred landmarks and serene landscapes provide a deeply spiritual experience.
