Spiritual Tour with Yoga - 07 Days

Welcome to the land of Living gods and goddesses. Enjoy the beautiful aerial view of the Himalayas, green forests, and amazing Kathmandu once you enter Nepal. Our representative will be holding a placard of Access Nepal with your name just outside the arrival hall.

After a warm Nepali welcome, you will be escorted to your hotel, where you will be briefed about the programs, safety, and exclusions/exclusions in detail. In the evening, we will organize a welcome dinner in a cozy Nepali restaurant that serves authentic Nepali dishes along with the cultural show.

Nepal is not only a country of the Himalayas but also a country with the heart-warming beauty of nature, diverse culture, astonishing history, and amazing myths/legends. To get in touch with the spiritual side of it, you must learn about the culture and know about the religious values.

Dakshinkali is only 1 a half-hour drive from Kathmandu. Located in the middle of the forest, the temple is dedicated to the goddess Kali, the angry and bloodthirsty reincarnation of Parvati. Every day, there is a sacrifice of chickens and goats taking place in the temple to satisfy the thirst of the goddess.

Then we will visit Boudhanath, one of the most famous Buddhist stupas in Kathmandu, which is surrounded by many other small monasteries. We will meet a monk and learn about Buddhism, learn about the philosophical guidance on how to live a meaningful life, and keep your heart at peace.

We will also visit the local monasteries and join the monks in prayer. After Boudhanath, we will again visit Pashupatinath Temple, the second holiest temple of Hindus in the world. With beautiful statues, incredible temples, and artistic woodwork, Pashupatinath is not only a religious site but a cultural site as well.

We will visit the bank of the Bagmati River, which flows in the side of the temple. You will have an offbeat experience where you can see the dead bodies of Hindus cremated and their remains left in the water to guide them to the afterlife.

It symbolizes how Hindu people believe that life starts and ends with god and that everyone has the same faith and the same place regardless of their social status and achievements.

Kumari, a young prepubescent girl from a Buddhist religion in a Hindu community, having all 32 physical attributes, is chosen as a living goddess. It is believed that a Hindu goddess, Taleju, lives in the embodiment of a living girl.

Today we will first drive to Swaymbhunath, a hilltop stupa in Kathmandu Valley, which is believed to be a self-existed religious site. Also a monastery and museum, the stupa is surrounded by small Hindu shrines that represent the interrelationship of Hinduism and Buddhism.

Then we will drive to Patan Durbar Square, an ancient town where we can see the co-existence of Hinduism and Buddhism. We can find Hindu and Buddhist people despite being of the same tribe, and we can see the town filled with temples and stupas near each other.

We will also visit the living goddess in her temple. Kathmandu Durbar Square, another cultural site, is filled with temples and marvelous woodwork in the old architectural buildings. We will also visit the Royal Kumari palace to meet the Royal Kumari (one of the 3 supreme Kumari of Nepal).

After breakfast, we will drive for 1 hour to our destination, Telkot. We will be joining a yoga group where we will learn about yoga and spirituality from the masters of yoga. Yoga is not only a fitness regimen for body and mind but also an experience and art to enhance the way one lives life to the fullest.

We will be learning about chants and the meaning of spirituality, about life, and about nature. We will practice yoga with trainers, enjoy the delicious vegetarian foods, and try to connect with our inner selves. We will also have a sauna and ayurvedic massage to relax our bodies.

On the way back to Kathmandu, we will visit Changunarayan Temple, one of the oldest temples in Nepal. Dedicated to the supreme protector, Lord Vishnu, the temple lies in a Champak forest where it is believed that the god himself was trapped in the form of a tree by a curse.

Even god can make a mistake and has to bear punishment; the myth is all about how a person must admit the mistakes and should go to any extent to correct them. Then we will drive to Bhaktapur, the city of Devotees, where you can encounter more temples than houses.

The ancient palace is famous for the Newari people, who still are proud and conscious about their heritage, culture, and ancestry.

Then we will drive back to Kathmandu and in the evening we will celebrate your beautiful stay in Nepal with a complimentary Farewell Dinner.

It is your day back in your country. Do bid us “See you in our next adventure” instead of a “Goodbye”. Our representative will escort you to Tribhuvan International Airport 3 hours prior to your scheduled departure.
