Cultural and Religious Heritage Sites

Nepal is a land brimming with cultural and religious treasures. The cities here boast magnificent temples, giant stupas, monuments, and ancient Durbar squares bustling with religious practices. For your sightseeing in Kathmandu, you will visit the mighty Hindu Temple, Pashupatinath Temple, marvel at the majestic Boudhanath Stupa, delve into the spiritual ambience of Swayambhunath Stupa, and witness the historic charm of Kathmandu Durbar Square. In addition, several festival occasions and Jatra’s make this city a living heritage. Newari culture is one of the key attractions of Kathmandu. If your visit matches the festival time, you will be lucky to have the opportunity to witness festivals such as Indra Jatra, Bisket Jatra, Gai Jatra, and Rato Machindranath Jatra, which are noticeable Jatras (festivals) of Newari communities.

Similarly, when transitioning to Pokhara, Pokhara is a natural paradise; however, it houses several prominent religious heritage sites such as Bindhyabasini Temple, Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, and Taal Barahi Temple, which you will be visiting during your sightseeing. These religious heritages present a spiritual essence seamlessly blending with the natural wonders of Pokhara. From the chaotic streets of Kathmandu to the serene landscape of Pokhara, Nepal’s cultural and religious diversity can be explored through this tour. 

Natural Attractions

This exciting tour will let you immerse yourself in the varied natural beauty of Nepal, letting you experience the difference as you transfer from one destination to another. Kathmandu and Pokhara, the cities you will be visiting, are major tourist hubs with an abundance of natural wonders. However, this short tour focuses on the natural wonders of Pokhara, located amidst the lap of the Himalayas, which is a chaotic yet serene destination. The scenic ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara itself offers you a changing landscape with green hills and rushing rivers alongside the drive. Here in Pokhara, you’ll encounter a variety of awe-inspiring natural attractions, including the cascading wonders of Davis Falls, the serenity of Phewa Lake with its majestic Himalayan reflections, and the breathtaking panoramic views from Sarangkot

While Pokhara is the main highlight for natural attractions, Kathmandu’s outskirts, such as Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, Chandragiri Hills, and Nagarkot, are the scenic destinations surrounding the valley, offering a range of outdoor options such as hiking, cycling, and jungle exploration to let the visitors get the best from nature. If you want to visit these areas or be involved in any of these activities, you can change your sightseeing destinations. We can personalise your experience to include the activities that best suit your desires.

A centre for Hindu pilgrimage, this temple hosts different major festivals, such as Maha Shivaratri and pujas such as Rudra Abhishek and evening Aarti. Additionally, no entrance fee is charged for Indian nationals to enter the temple.

Boudhanath is one of the largest stupas in the world, attracting visitors for its religious and spiritual significance. Around the base of the stupa, you’ll find 108 small niches housing statues of the Dhyani Buddha Amitabha, representing the different stages of enlightenment. It is a sacred place for both Tibetan Buddhists and locals.

Believed to be the oldest Buddhist shrine in Nepal, the history of the Swayambhunath Stupa dates back 2500 years. Also known as a Monkey temple, it is a hilltop pilgrimage site surrounded by smaller temples, stupas, and monasteries.

Davis Falls, also known as Patale Chhango, is an amazing waterfall in Pokhara Valley that is nearly 500 feet long and runs 100 feet below ground level. According to local old people, on July 31, 1961, a Swiss couple named Davi went swimming, but the woman drowned in a pit. From that day on, the place was known as Davis Falls.

Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, one of the longest caves in Nepal, is nearly 3 km long. There are some walls dripping water inside the cave, and about 40 metres in, you can see the statue of Lord Shiva. At the end of the cave, you will be mesmerised by the Davis Falls cutting through the cave. 

Bindhyabasini Temple is situated on a hilltop, 3000m above sea level. This religious place for Hindus living in the Pokhara region is devoted to the goddess Bhagwati, an incarnation of Durga. Goddess Durga, also known as Kali Mata, is the symbol of a bloodthirsty goddess. Many people come here to worship and sacrifice animals.

Phewa Lake is the second-largest lake in Nepal. It covers an area of about 4.43 sq km with an average depth of about 8.6 metres and a maximum water depth of 19 metres.
