Hindu Pilgrimage Tour Overview

Nepal is one of the holiest countries to visit for Hindus. It is also the land of Lord Pashupatinath, the birthplace of Goddess Sita and the place where some of the oldest Hindu temples still exist. If you have always dreamed of visiting Nepal for its spiritual essence, this tour is for you.

Our 9 day Hindu Pilgrimage Tour covers 3 must see locations, they are Kathmandu, Pokhara and Janakpur. In Kathmandu, you will tour the most significant Hindu temples in the country such as Pashupatinath, Budhanilkantha and Dakshinkali. In Pokhara, you will visit sacred temples located around beautiful mountain scenery. And in Janakpur, you will walk through the very city that Goddess Sita was born and where she was married to Lord Ram.

This trip is perfect for any age group or type of traveler, whether you are making your own way as a devoted pilgrim, traveling with your family or just curious to learn more about Hindu culture and traditions in Nepal. We do all your hotel, transport and guided sightseeing from Day one to the last day, so you can travel with comfort and concentrate fully on your pilgrimage.

Best Season for Hindu Pilgrimage Tour in Nepal

The best season for Hindu Pilgrimage tour in Nepal is Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) is recommended for a holiday in Nepal. The climate is nice, skies are clear, roads are easy to travel on, making it the best time to go to temples in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Janakpur.

Spring is also the time for some of Nepal’s largest Hindu festivals. If you come in February or March you might be lucky enough to see Maha Shivaratri at Pashupatinath Temple where hundreds of thousands of worshippers from Nepal and India converge to celebrate Lord Shiva. It is the most incredible religious gathering you will ever witness. Cool and stable autumn weather after the monsoon makes it an excellent time to visit. The mountain views are wide open and the temple grounds are lush and green.

We typically recommend you do not do this tour during the monsoon season (June to August) as heavy rainfall can make road travel difficult, especially on the route to Pokhara and Janakpur. However, the pilgrimage runs throughout the years and we look forward to helping you make arrangements to travel in whichever month best suits your needs.

Besides these, travelers can visit Patan Durbar Square, renowned for its wood carvings, metalwork, and artistic tradition, or visit Bhaktapur Durbar Square, where medieval atmosphere and well-preserved structures tell a lot about Nepal’s history. The Garden of Dreams is a serene oasis in the city, perfect for relaxation. For the culture lovers of the old days, the National Museum of Nepal and the Narayanhiti Palace Museum provide ample information about the country’s royal past.

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.

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.

Boudhanath Stupa: Then we head to this stunning UNESCO-listed stupa, one of the biggest in the world. Stroll the circumambulation trail with monks and pilgrims, spin its many prayer wheels and soak in the peaceful atmosphere of this sacred locale.

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. Notice the warm golden hues of the late afternoon light as it cascades against the time-honored red brick labyrinthine streets and courtyards, this will tell you why Bhaktapur is the jewel of the Kathmandu valley.

After having breakfast we will visit different temples of Pokhara like bindabasini, taalbarahi, Gupteswar
Mahendra Cave, World Peace Pagoda etc.

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.

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.

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.

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).

We reach Kathmandu by evening and transfer you to your hotel and enjoy a beautiful farewell dinner featuring authentic Nepali cuisine with a special menu for you as a warm thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.

This morning is yours – rest, last minute shopping in Thamel or a quiet moment at a nearby temple. When the time comes, our representative will transfer you to the airport with a warm send off and wishing you a safe journey home.
