Nepal Pilgrimage Tour

Nepal, despite being a secular country, is largely influenced by Hinduism, with most of its population practising this religion. Kathmandu, renowned as the 'City of Temples,' is just one area abundant with these sacred sites; temples dedicated to various deities can be found throughout the country.

Nepal Pilgrimage Tour offers the opportunity to spend time with family while seeking blessings from the gods. It caters to Hindu devotees by visiting significant locations around Kathmandu and Pokhara. These pilgrimage sites are deeply rooted in religious history and traditions, providing an opportunity for worship. Hinduism, also known as Sanatan, has deep roots in the Indian subcontinent, and Nepal's temples largely honour major gods and their manifestations. Even for those who do not practice Hinduism, visiting these temples and shrines offers a glimpse into the ancient religion, its traditions, history, and associated philosophies. Moreover, the temple architecture serves as a testament to Nepal's rich history.
