Kathmandu- Soul of Nepal Journey

Begin your adventure in Kathmandu, the capital city known as the “City of Temples.” Here, you’ll visit two of Nepal’s most sacred and significant landmarks:

Pashupatinath Temple

A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the holiest Hindu shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. Located along the sacred Bagmati River, this temple complex is not only an architectural wonder but also an important spiritual center where you can witness traditional rituals and cremation ceremonies.

Boudhanath Stupa

One of the largest stupas in the world and the spiritual heart of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. Surrounded by colorful prayer flags and monasteries, Boudhanath radiates peace and invites visitors to walk around its base in a meditative clockwise motion, just as monks and devotees do.

Pokhara-Cultural Trails & Mountain Views

The journey continues with a scenic drive to Pokhara, often called the "Jewel of the Himalayas." On the way, enjoy a memorable stop at:

Chandragiri Hill

Reach the top via a modern cable car ride and enjoy panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley and the distant Himalayan peaks, including Annapurna and Manaslu ranges. The summit also features the Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple, adding spiritual depth to the experience.

In Pokhara, a tranquil lakeside city, you'll be surrounded by stunning Himalayan backdrops and immersed in natural and cultural beauty. Your exploration includes:

Sarangkot

A hilltop viewpoint famous for its breathtaking sunrise views over the Annapurna range and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain). A must-see moment that connects travelers with the soul of Nepal’s natural majesty.

Bindabasini Temple

A sacred Hindu temple perched on a small hill dedicated to Goddess Durga, offering a peaceful space for prayers along with views of the nearby mountains.

Devi’s Fall (Patale Chhango)

A powerful and mysterious waterfall that disappears into an underground tunnel, symbolizing nature’s raw force and wonder.

Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave

Located just across from Devi’s Fall, this mystical cave houses a revered Shiva lingam and features striking limestone formations, offering a sacred and adventurous underground experience.

Fewa Lake 

Tal Barahi Temple & Boating on Fewa Lake. Nestled on an island in the middle of the serene Phewa Lake, this small yet spiritually significant temple is reached by a scenic boat ride. The lake itself mirrors the surrounding hills and peaks, creating postcard-perfect views.
