Overview
Pashupatinath Temple is one of the most sacred Hindu sites in the world, and this 4-day pilgrimage tour is built around experiencing it properly — through temple darshan, the evening Aarti ritual, and time at nearby sacred sites that are often rushed through on shorter trips. Alongside Pashupatinath, the tour covers Kathmandu Valley's UNESCO World Heritage stupas, a heritage walk through Bhaktapur, and a Himalayan sunset from Nagarkot to close out the journey.
Gopaleshwor Tour and Travel handles every part of the trip directly — transportation, accommodation, entrance fees, and an experienced local guide — so you can focus on the pilgrimage rather than the logistics. The pace is easy and suited to travelers of all ages, whether you're visiting Pashupatinath as your primary reason for coming to Nepal or adding it to a longer cultural itinerary.
