Explore a four-day Kathmandu pilgrimage with Pashupatinath aarti, Buddhist and Hindu sacred sites, private transfers, hotel options and local guidance.
Route and itinerary
Kathmandu Arrival (Day 1)
Arrive in Kathmandu and transfer to your hotel with local assistance. The first day is kept easy so you can rest, adjust to the city and prepare for temple visits. In the evening, your guide can brief you on temple etiquette, walking distances, photography rules and the best timing for darshan.
Pashupatinath Aarti (Day 2)
Visit Swayambhunath in the morning, a hilltop shrine known for sweeping Kathmandu Valley views and a peaceful spiritual atmosphere. Continue to Boudhanath Stupa for a kora walk around one of the largest Buddhist stupas in Nepal. In the evening, attend Pashupatinath aarti darshan, where lamps, chants and riverside rituals create the main devotional highlight of the tour.
Valley Sacred Sites (Day 3)
Explore Kathmandu Durbar Square and Patan Durbar Square to understand the art, architecture and living heritage of the old royal cities. Later, continue to Doleshwor Mahadev, a revered Shiva shrine valued by devotees. The day balances Hindu pilgrimage, UNESCO-listed valley heritage and local culture without rushing from site to site.
Departure (Day 4)
After breakfast, transfer to the airport according to your flight schedule. If time allows, a short final darshan or souvenir stop can be arranged before departure. This short Kathmandu pilgrimage is designed for travelers who want a meaningful spiritual visit without a long multi-city route.

Packing Checklist
Carry valid identification, prescribed medicines and copies of the final travel documents supplied for the trip. Use comfortable, broken-in footwear and season-appropriate layers; high-altitude routes require warmer clothing and sun protection. Pack personal hygiene items, a refillable water bottle and any route-specific equipment listed in the final pre-departure checklist. Confirm airline baggage limits, restricted items and any equipment available to rent before departure.
What should I wear for temple visits?
Wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees. Comfortable shoes are useful because the day includes temple steps, courtyards and heritage walks.
Can the Pashupatinath aarti be included?
Yes. The itinerary is designed around the evening aarti, but exact timing and access depend on temple schedules, festival crowds and local conditions.
Can this package be customized?
Yes. NTP can adjust hotel category, transport mode, sightseeing pace, private guide support and extensions before the final quote is confirmed.
Is the displayed price final?
The website price is a package benchmark. The confirmed price depends on the departure date, group size, hotel category, permit costs, flights and requested upgrades.
What support is provided during the trip?
The team coordinates airport assistance, transfers, guided sightseeing or route support, itinerary briefings and local operational help during the journey.
What happens if weather affects the itinerary?
The itinerary may be adjusted for safety and route reliability. Mountain flights, high passes, remote roads and border operations can require flexible timing.
Which documents should I prepare before booking?
Document requirements depend on the route and nationality. Share a valid passport or government ID only through the process confirmed by NTP, and wait for a written checklist before sending sensitive copies.
What accommodation and meal standard should I expect?
The written quote confirms hotel or lodge category, room basis and included meals. Remote pilgrimage and trekking locations can have simpler facilities than Kathmandu or Pokhara.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is strongly recommended for every trip and should cover the planned altitude, medical treatment, trip interruption and evacuation where applicable. Coverage remains the traveler’s responsibility.
Can you support seniors or travelers with accessibility needs?
Tell the team about mobility, health, dietary and assistance needs before booking. NTP will explain realistic walking, stair, altitude and transport limits and can suggest a gentler route when appropriate.
Booking and Payment
A final written quote should confirm the hotel category, transport mode, guide support, permits and departure date. A booking deposit is required to reserve hotels, vehicles, guides and flights where applicable. Prices can change with group size, exchange rate, flight availability, permit updates and hotel category. The operations team may adjust the day-by-day order for weather, safety, traffic, flight timing or local permissions.
Cancellation and Changes
Cancellation and refund rules depend on the confirmed departure, supplier deadlines and non-refundable permit or flight costs. Weather-affected mountain flights, road delays and border operations are treated as route modifications when the trip can still continue safely. If NTP must cancel before departure for operational reasons, guests can request an alternate departure or a refund based on the confirmed supplier terms. Guests should carry travel insurance for medical emergencies, evacuation, trip interruption and baggage protection.
