Highlights
Overview
This yatra brings together three of Nepal's most significant Hindu pilgrimage sites in a single, well-organized journey. It begins in Kathmandu with darshan at Pashupatinath, one of the holiest Shiva temples in the world, continues to Manakamana, where devotees ride a cable car to seek blessings from the wish-fulfilling goddess, and concludes in Janakpur Dham, the birthplace of Goddess Sita and one of the most sacred sites in the Ramayana tradition.
Janakpur, in Nepal's southern Terai plains, is home to the ornate Janaki Mandir and a living Mithila culture rarely seen elsewhere in Nepal — from traditional Mithila paintings to the town's temple ponds and daily rituals. Combined with Pashupatinath and Manakamana, this tour offers a complete pilgrimage experience across three distinct regions of Nepal.
Gopaleshwor Tour and Travel arranges all transportation, accommodation, and darshan logistics directly, so the journey stays smooth and focused on the pilgrimage itself.
