पशूनां पतिं पापनाशं परेशं गजेन्द्रस्य कृत्तिं वसानं वरेण्यम् ।
जटाजूट-माधृत्य गंगां च गौरीं नमस्ते नमस्ते विभो विश्वमूर्ते ॥ — Ancient hymn to Pashupati Nath, Lord of All Beings
Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu is one of the most sacred sites in the Hindu world — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the foremost Shiva shrines, drawing pilgrims from across the subcontinent. Situated on the banks of the sacred Bagmati river (a tributary of the Ganga), this temple complex is the spiritual heart of Nepal.
This 5-day yatra combines the Pashupatinath darshan with visits to Boudhanath stupa, Swayambhunath shrine, Changu Narayan, and the ancient city of Bhaktapur — giving you a complete spiritual and cultural immersion in Nepal's divine capital.
