Activity itinerary

Pashupatinath Temple
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Pashupatinath Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kathmandu, is a sacred Hindu complex dedicated to Lord Shiva. While the main temple with its golden roof and silver doors is restricted for non-hindus, tourists can explore the surrounding area. Observe smaller shrines, witness cremation ceremonies on the Bagmati River banks, and encounter Sadhus, holy men with painted faces. The complex also features a deer park and a museum. A visit to Pashupatinath offers a glimpse into Hindu traditions and Nepali culture, making it a must-see for those seeking a deeper cultural experience.
The Crematoria
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
The cremation ghat at Pashupatinath Temple, located on the banks of the Bagmati River, is a significant site for Hindus. Witnessing the open-air cremation ceremonies here can be a powerful experience, offering a glimpse into Hindu beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. While respectful observation is encouraged, remember this is a solemn event for mourning families. Avoid intrusive photography and maintain a respectful distance. The ghat is an integral part of the Pashupatinath experience, providing a profound insight into the cycle of life and the cultural significance of the sacred river.
Slesmantak jungle
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Slesmantak Jungle, the forested area surrounding Pashupatinath Temple, offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city. Wander through its peaceful paths, encountering ancient trees, hidden shrines, and diverse birdlife. This sacred forest is steeped in mythology, believed to be where Lord Shiva once resided. It's an important site for rituals like Bala Chaturdashi, where devotees scatter "satbij" (seven types of seeds) for ancestral blessings. Explore Slesmantak to experience the spiritual aura and natural beauty intertwined with the religious significance of Pashupatinath.
Guhyeshwari Temple
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Guhyeshwori Temple, nestled near Pashupatinath, is an important Shakti Peeth for Hindus. Dedicated to Goddess Guhyeshwari (a form of Parvati), it's believed to be the site where Sati Devi's "guhya" (genitals) fell. Unlike the grand architecture of Pashupatinath, Guhyeshwori is a smaller temple with a unique sunken design. A sacred pond and a small shrine dedicated to Gorakhnath Baba are also within the complex. While photography is restricted, the temple's serene atmosphere and tantric significance make it a worthwhile visit for those seeking a deeper spiritual experience within the Pashupatinath area.
Boudhanath Stupa
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest spherical stupas in the world, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a hub of Tibetan Buddhist culture in Kathmandu. Tourists can circumambulate the stupa with pilgrims, spinning prayer wheels and chanting mantras. The surrounding streets are lined with colorful shops selling Tibetan artifacts, prayer flags, and souvenirs. Monasteries offer glimpses into Buddhist practices and vibrant murals. Evenings at Boudhanath are magical. Butter lamps illuminate the stupa, creating a serene atmosphere heightened by chanting monks and the scent of incense, making it a truly captivating experience.
