Itinerary

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by your trekking representative and transferred to your hotel in the heart of Kathmandu. The drive offers your first glimpses of Nepal’s vibrant streets, temples, and distant Himalayan silhouettes.

After check-in, you can relax and recover from your journey. In the evening, a traditional welcome dinner introduces you to authentic Nepali cuisine. A detailed trek briefing will be conducted by your guide, explaining the route, altitude awareness, cultural highlights, and safety measures. This day is designed for rest, adjustment, and preparation for the journey ahead.


After breakfast, your spiritual journey begins with a visit to Pashupatinath Temple, one of the most sacred Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Located on the banks of the Bagmati River, this UNESCO World Heritage site is filled with rituals, cremation ghats, and ancient shrines that reflect deep spiritual traditions.

You then continue to Budhanilkantha Temple, home to the sleeping Vishnu statue resting on a cosmic serpent in a sacred water pool. After this peaceful stop, the journey continues toward Bhaktapur district to visit Doleshwor Mahadev Temple, believed to be spiritually connected to Kedarnath in India.

This day is less physical and more cultural and spiritual, offering insight into Nepal’s deep Hindu heritage. You return to Kathmandu in the evening for rest.


After breakfast, you begin a scenic drive toward Pokhara, passing through rivers, terraced fields, and hillside villages. En route, you stop at Manakamana Temple, reached via a cable car ride offering panoramic valley views.

At the temple, you may perform a traditional puja seeking blessings for a safe journey. After the visit, you continue toward Pokhara, descending into Nepal’s most beautiful lake city. Upon arrival, you check in at your hotel near Phewa Lake and enjoy a peaceful evening surrounded by Himalayan reflections and calm waters.

Early morning, you take a scenic mountain flight from Pokhara to Jomsom, flying between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Upon landing, you rest briefly before driving toward the sacred Muktinath Temple.

The drive follows the Kali Gandaki valley, known for sacred Shaligram stones. From the jeep station, you walk approximately 20 minutes to reach the temple premises. At Muktinath, you participate in puja rituals, visit the 108 holy water spouts, and witness the eternal flame at Jwalamai Temple.

After completing spiritual activities, you may also explore Kagbeni village, an ancient Tibetan-influenced settlement. In the evening, you return to Jomsom for overnight rest in a simple mountain lodge.


You take an early scenic flight back to Pokhara, enjoying breathtaking views of snow-covered peaks and deep valleys. After arrival, the day is dedicated to exploring the highlights of Pokhara.

You visit Barahi Temple, located on an island in Phewa Lake, followed by Davis Falls, a unique waterfall disappearing underground. You continue to Gupteshwor Cave, Bindabasini Temple, and Seti Gorge, each offering geological and spiritual significance.

In the evening, you can enjoy boating on Phewa Lake or relax by Lakeside cafés while watching the sunset over the Annapurna range.


After breakfast, you take a short scenic flight back to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, you have free time for shopping in Thamel, visiting nearby temples, or simply resting.

In the evening, a farewell dinner is hosted by your trekking team, celebrating the completion of your Himalayan pilgrimage journey. This is a memorable evening where you share experiences, stories, and reflections from the trek through Nepal’s sacred landscapes.


On your final day, you are transferred to Tribhuvan International Airport for your onward flight. The journey concludes with lasting memories of mountains, temples, rivers, and Himalayan spirituality.

You leave Nepal with a deep connection to its culture, landscapes, and sacred heritage.
