MT. Kailash Door Darshan + Muktinath + Pashupatinath

Trip Overview

(Ex-Lucknow- Nepalgunj-Mt. Kailash chartered Flight- Pokhara- Jomsom- Muktinath- Pokhara- Kathmandu)

Nepal is not only a country of captivating landscapes but also which is deeply enriched with vibrant religious traditions. Landlocked between India and Tibet, it has become a confluence of different faiths and a melting pot of cultures. Many sacred places of worship are scattered around this Himalayan nation, marking it as a predominant pilgrimage destination.

This tour combines the three very important divine sites of Kailash-Mansarovar, Muktinath and Pashupatinath, to make it a memorable journey of emotional and spiritual fulfillment. Where Kailash Mansarovar Yatra can be done by means of a specially arranged ‘aerial darshan’ without crossing into the Tibetan plateau from Nepal, Muktinath darshan in the higher altitude regions of northern-central part of Nepal calls for some amount of adventurous spirit, and finally an easy yet blissful darshan at Pashupatinath well within the capital city of Kathmandu.

Travellers can also get a taste of tranquil nature in the picturesque city of Pokhara, nestled between stunning snow-capped mountain ranges, as well as witness the historical landmarks in Kathmandu, which is a major heritage hub of Nepal.
