After a lovely breakfast, your pilgrimage begins in the early morning. Today you visit three of Kathmandu’s most spiritually powerful Hindu temples (Pashupatinath Temple, Budhanilkantha Temple and Dakshinkali Temple), each one carrying centuries of unbroken devotion. After visiting you will be taken back to your hotel.

Day 3: Kathmandu Valley Cultural Tour

After breakfast, we go out to visit the greater Kathmandu valley, a living breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage landscapes where Hindu and Buddhist traditions have seamlessly coexisted for thousands of years.

Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple): We start the morning at one of the most famous stupas on a hilltop, an ancient and highly revered religious destination in Nepal. Climb the stone steps, enjoy the prayer flags fluttering in the breeze and take in the sweeping panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley from the top.

Patan Durbar Square: In the afternoon, we take you to this stunning medieval square, where generations of Newari skill and spiritual care are hewn into every courtyard, temple and wooden window pane.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square: We end your day in the beautifully maintained city of Devotees.

Day 5: Sightseeing in Pokhara Hindu Temple

Pokhara is the most beautiful city of Nepal and today you find its spiritual heart as well as its breathtaking natural beauty. It is a day that touches both the heart and the eyes.

Bindhyabasini Temple: The oldest and most revered temple in Pokhara. The morning puja with the incense burning and bells ringing in the mountainside is moving.

Tal Barahi Temple: The famous temple of the goddess Barahi is situated on a small island in the middle of the Phewa Lake. Arriving at a temple by boat is an experience unlike any other.

Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave: A sacred cave containing a natural Shiva lingam located far back in the cave’s ancient limestone passageways. It is quiet, cool and has a very spiritual feel.

Pumdikot Shiva Statue: The Pumdikot Shiva statue stands at 51 meters from a hilltop overlooking Pokhara, it is one of the tallest Shiva statues in Nepal. The panoramic view of the Annapurna and Machhapuchchhre ranges from this place is phenomenal, an ideal place to offer your prayers to Lord Shiva with the mighty Himalayas in the background.

World Peace Pagoda: End your day at this shimmering white Buddhist stupa overlooking Phewa Lake. As the sun dips behind the hills, the golden glow on the water makes for a moment of simple, tranquil bliss.

Day 6: Drive/Fly to Janakpur

Today you travel to Janakpur, one of the most mythologically significant cities in all of Nepal and a deeply sacred destination for Hindu pilgrims across the world.

Janakpur is the birthplace of Goddess Sita and the city where her legendary wedding to Lord Ram took place. Its streets are alive with Mithila art, its temples echo with ancient hymns and its air carries the warmth of a place that still lives and breathes its mythology every single day.

Upon arrival, check in and freshen up. In the late afternoon, we visit the golden-spired Janaki Temple, a breathtaking Mughal-Rajput marble masterpiece, ideally timed for the evening aarti. The oil lamps sway, the hymns rise into the open sky creating a moment you will truly remember.

Day 7: Full day sightseeing in Janakpur

A full, unhurried day to immerse yourself in the spiritual and cultural soul of Janakpur. Take your time exploring each site at a relaxed pace.

Janaki Temple (Morning Puja): Return in the quiet morning hours for a more intimate darshan at this sacred site dedicated to Goddess Sita, believed to be built at her exact birthplace.

Ram Mandir: Just steps away, Lord Ram is enshrined here in eternal devotion. Visiting both temples in one day is considered deeply auspicious by pilgrims.

Dhanusha Dham: The sacred grove where Lord Ram is said to have lifted and broken the celestial bow at Sita’s swayamvara. A deeply meaningful site for all Ram devotees.

Ganga Sagar & Dhanush Sagar: Two holy ponds where pilgrims perform sacred cleansing rituals. Peaceful, reflective and spiritually purifying.

Mithila Art Gallery: Discover the vivid, geometric Maithili paintings passed from mother to daughter across generations in this region.

Day 8: Drive/Fly back to Kathmandu

After breakfast, we begin our return journey to Kathmandu either on a scenic road journey (approximately 8 to 10 hours by road) or by a flight (35 minutes).
