A closer look at this journey

Welcome to a captivating day tour with Nihosi Travels and Tours, immersing you in the spiritual essence of Kathmandu through our Pashupatinath Temple Tour. This carefully curated itinerary promises a profound journey into Nepal’s rich religious traditions and cultural heritage.

Our day commences with a visit to Pashupatinath Temple, an esteemed Hindu pilgrimage site dedicated to Lord Shiva, nestled beside the revered Bagmati River. This ancient temple complex, with its intricate wooden architecture and sacred shrines, holds significant religious importance for Hindus worldwide. Witness the morning rituals that unfold along the banks of the Bagmati River, where devotees perform cremation ceremonies and prayers, offering a poignant glimpse into Nepalese spirituality and customs.

Pashupatinath Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, exudes a mystical aura with its sprawling courtyards, stone lingams, and ornate pagoda-style temples. Explore the inner sanctum where the sacred Shiva Lingam resides, and learn about the temple’s history from our knowledgeable guides.

Following our exploration of Pashupatinath, we’ll savour a delightful lunch at a local eatery before continuing our expedition to other iconic landmarks. Discover the serene majesty of Boudhanath Stupa, where the compassionate eyes of Buddha oversee the Kathmandu Valley, and embrace the mystical aura of Swyambhunath Stupa, adorned with fluttering prayer flags and inhabited by playful monkeys.

Join us for a day brimming with cultural insights, spiritual revelations, and awe-inspiring vistas as we delve into the treasures of Nepal’s religious heritage. Let us guide you through this unforgettable excursion, offering a deeper appreciation of Nepal’s intricate tapestry of faith and history.

What makes this journey different

A journey with a point of view

Nihosi Travels & Tours Pvt. Ltd works closely with and is one of the main supporters of a local NGO. We support them in a number of ways:

Donation: Nihosi Travels & Tours Pvt. Ltd is committed to giving back to the communities we visit. We donate up to 10% of our annual revenue to support Local NGO projects. These projects cover a wide range of initiatives, including the regular maintenance of school buildings to provide a safe and conducive learning environment for children. We also contribute to constructing sanitation facilities, rebuilding earthquake-affected houses and schools, and more.

Sponsorship: Our partnership with the Local NGO extends to a comprehensive children sponsorship program. We believe in the power of education and actively participate in ensuring that underprivileged children have access to quality education. Through this program, we sponsor the education, healthcare, and overall well-being of children in need, creating a brighter future for them.

Partnership (Volunteering Program): We have collaborated with the Local NGO to create a Volunteering Program that allows our travelers to give back directly to the communities they visit. This program mobilizes teams of experts and interested individuals to contribute their skills and time as volunteers. These volunteers actively participate in various projects related to education, healthcare, and community development. It's an enriching experience that fosters a deep connection between travelers and the local communities they serve.
