An unforgettable journey awaits
Embark on the sacred Kathmandu and Muktinath Yatra, an 11-day escorted pilgrimage through the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal, taking you to some of the most revered Hindu and Buddhist shrines in the region. Begin in the spiritual heart of Kathmandu with darshan at the Pashupatinath Temple, the Jal Narayan reclining Vishnu shrine, and the iconic stupas of Boudhnath and Swayambhunath, before journeying via Manokamna Devi Temple to the lakeside town of Pokhara.
