What you can expect

Meet up with your guide and fellow travelers, then head to Boudhanath Stupa, the largest Buddhist Stupa in Nepal, and a UNESCO Heritage sight. Join the locals in rotating the prayer wheels and partake in the Kora around the magnificent white spherical dome. If it interests you, visit a local Thanka Shop to learn about these intricate artworks. Each element of the art holds a significant meaning about the Buddhist culture. You might also see artists at work bringing the cultural masterpiece to life.

After this spiritual venture, either walk for around 15 minutes or drive to Pashupatinath Temple, the largest Hindu pilgrimage site in Nepal. Here, go on an insightful journey of Hindu beliefs, the cycle of birth and death. Get glimpses of the lives of Sadhus, and if you wish to know more, offer alms to unfold their stories. These soot-smeared, saffron-clad, dreadlocked Sadhus are renounced for their hedonistic social life to devote their life to Shiva, the Hindu God of Destruction. You can also opt to have your future read by a local palm reader!

Witness the solemn cremations along the banks of the Bagmati River. As the sun goes down, brace yourself to be overwhelmed by throngs of locals as they gather around on the banks of the Bagmati River on the eastern side of Pashupatinath Temple. Watch along with them the mesmerizing everyday ritual called Aarati which offers lights to Lord Pashupatinath. Make sure you keep near your guide and group to navigate the bustling crowd.

Return from this tour a transformed person, having experienced the divine and the local substance of Kathmandu's spiritual heritage.
