Nepal Pilgrimage Journey

A Spiritual Path from Kathmandu to Muktinath

Introduction

Nepal is where faith meets the Himalayas, where snow-capped peaks guard temples, and rivers whisper tales of divinity. A Nepal Pilgrimage Trip with OneUs Travels isn’t just a tour; it’s a spiritual awakening across sacred landscapes like Kathmandu, Pokhara, Jomsom, and Muktinath. Each stop is a divine chapter filled with devotion, cleansing, and peace.

Why Visit Nepal for a Pilgrimage

For devotees of Lord Vishnu and Shiva, Nepal holds immense religious significance. From Pashupatinath Temple’s evening arti in Kathmandu when all four doors open to reveal the four faces of the sacred Shiva Lingam, to the holy waters of Muktinath’s 108 tirtha, every moment in Nepal deepens one’s spiritual connection.

The sacred Kali Gandaki River, flowing alongside the route to Jomsom, is believed to hold Shaligram stones, worshipped as Lord Vishnu himself. The region’s natural beauty and divine presence make Nepal one of the most profound pilgrimage destinations in the world.

6-Day Nepal Pilgrimage Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu

Arrive in Nepal’s capital and settle into your comfortable hotel. By evening, attend the divine arti at Pashupatinath Temple, where the temple’s four doors open, offering devotees the rare blessing of viewing all four faces of the Shiva Lingam. Feel the rhythm of chants as you perform a parikrama around the sanctum.

Day 2: Kathmandu to Pokhara via Manokamna Temple

Begin your drive toward Pokhara, with a holy stop at the Manokamna Temple, where prayers for wishes come true. En route, admire Nepal’s countryside and later enjoy the serene beauty of Pokhara’s lakeside.

Day 3: Exploring Pokhara and Satrangkot

Spend the day visiting Satrangkot, known for its sunrise views over the Annapurna range. Walk along the lake, enjoy local shopping, and rest before your long journey to Jomsom.

Day 4: Pokhara to Jomsom

Travel for around 14 hours alongside the Kali Gandaki River. The journey is scenic and deeply symbolic, with every bend reflecting devotion. Though the river’s dark waters aren’t meant for bathing, it’s revered for its divine Shaligrams.

Day 5: Jomsom to Muktinath and Back

Early in the morning, drive to Muktinath Temple, a sacred space shared by Hindus and Buddhists. Here, devotees bathe under the 108 water spouts (tirtha). Remember to cover your head with a towel before the icy water touches it to avoid headaches or brain freeze. Afterward, take a symbolic dip in Papa Kunta and Punya Kunta, believed to cleanse sins and bless one with virtue. By evening, return to Pokhara for leisure and shopping, famous for chakra paintings and local artwork.

Day 6: Return to Kathmandu

Fly or drive back to Kathmandu. Optionally, embark on an Everest helicopter sightseeing tour (weather-dependent) to witness the world’s highest peaks up close. End your journey with gratitude and memories that stay for life.

Food and Stay

Expect comfortable stays in 3- to 5-star hotels that provide Indian cuisine with a local twist. From rice meals to delightful momos, Nepal ensures both familiarity and flavor.
