Complete Nepal pilgrimage covering Pashupatinath, Muktinath, Janakpur with visa assistance.
Pashupatinath in Kathmandu and Muktinath high in the Mustang Himalaya, with a deliberately gentle ascent and a buffer day built in — because mountain weather, not the schedule, decides when you fly.
Arrive in Kathmandu by flight or across the Sunauli border, and check in. Evening at Pashupatinath on the banks of the Bagmati — one of the most revered Shiva temples anywhere. Only Hindus may enter the main sanctum. The evening Bagmati aarti on the far bank closes the day. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Morning darshan at Pashupatinath when the queues are shortest, then Guhyeshwari Temple, a Shakti Peeth close by. Afternoon at Budhanilkantha to see the reclining Vishnu carved from a single block of stone. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Drive to Pokhara, stopping at Manakamana — the wish-fulfilling temple reached by cable car. Arrive Pokhara by evening. Overnight in Pokhara.
A deliberately gentle day to let the body adjust before altitude. Bindhyabasini Temple, and Tal Barahi on Phewa Lake by boat. Overnight in Pokhara.
Fly or drive to Jomsom in the Mustang valley. We overnight here at altitude rather than pushing straight up — this is the single most important part of the plan. Overnight in Jomsom.
Jeep to Muktinath at roughly 3,800 metres, sacred to Hindus and Buddhists alike. The 108 water spouts and the eternal flame. Carry a change of clothes for the ritual bath. Return to Jomsom or Pokhara.
Held in reserve for weather. Mountain flights are cancelled often and this day is what keeps the yatra intact when they are. If the weather has been kind, it becomes a free day in Pokhara.
Return to Kathmandu and connect to your onward flight or the border crossing home.
