Hindu Pilgrimage Tour In Nepal

We start early today since we have a long drive to Pokhara of about 7 hours. After having our breakfast, we start our drive. Enjoying the curved highways and beautiful scenery as we head outside the valley. The drive to Pokhara is somewhat thrilling experience in itself. There will be several break stops before finally arriving to Pokhara. The drive is pretty exhausting, so we spend the night at the hotel.

Optional Trip: You could also choose to go rafting in Trishuli River if it’s something that excites you, the cost will be $40 per person inclusive of transport, 2 hours of rafting and lunch.

Early morning drive to Sarangkot from the hotel in order to see the sunrise. The driving takes approximately 45 minutes to reach Sarangkot. After enjoying our morning with a beautiful wide view of the mountains we get back to the hotel. We will have breakfast and prepare for the Pokhara tour. Pokhara contains numerous tourist destinations and is widely famous among the locals too. Davis Fall, Gupteshor, Bat Cave, Bindabishini Temple, World Peace Stupa, and Tibetan Refugee Camp are some of the major destinations within Pokhara that we will be visiting. Our overnight stay will be at the hotel.

On this day, we wake up early. After having our breakfast, we head towards the airport to fly to Jomsom. The flight will be of around 25 minutes. Upon reaching Jomsom, we drive to Muktinath, which is known to be a famous pilgrimage site for Buddhists as well as Hindus. It is believed that bathing in the water of Muktinath ensures salvation after death. If you happen to be in Muktinath during September, you might encounter one of Nepal’s unique festivals of horse racing, known as Yartung. After exploring Muktinath for the day, we spend our night at a hotel.

Today we will return to Jomsom but through a different route. This time we will go through Kagbeni, a village located in Upper Mustang. Here, you will explore the village full of mud houses and a very different lifestyle than that of other region of Nepal. The place is ideal to explore Tibetan culture and a wonderful opportunity to scope out the Himalayan range from up close. Kagbeni holds one of the oldest monastery in Nepal known as Kag Chode Thupten Samphel Ling Monastery, which will be the highlight of this day. We spend the night at a hotel in Jomsom and prepare for tomorrows flight to Pokhara.

Today we fly back to Pokhara from Jomsom. After having breakfast, we board the plane and within half an hour we will land at Pokhara. We start the day early as we have to drive to Chitwan National Park which is around 149km from Pokhara. The drive will be about 4 hours. After reaching Chitwan we will visit a few places around the national parks, taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. Then we will have our dinner and call it a day. Overnight stay will be at a hotel.

This day is especially reserved for optional touring. On this day, you make the decision. Whether you want to experience an hour long scenic Mountain Flight, cable car ride to Chandragiri, or relax inside the Garden of Dreams, it’s all up to your preferences. Better yet, you could enjoy the day touring and shopping around Thamel Bazaar. We end the day with a delightful farewell dinner. Overnight stay will be at the hotel.

Please Note: Do not expect long tours as the time is limited. Pick somewhere closer so that you will have enough time to play with.

Our Hindu Pilgrimage Tour is finally over. After bidding our goodbyes a representative from CoreTreks will transport you to Tribhuvan International Airport around 3 hours before the departure. Since, it might take some time for you to board a plane, we make sure that there is enough time for all the procedures at the airport.
