Overview

Nepal is a sacred land for pilgrimage, drawing devotees from across the globe with its ancient temples and spiritual heritage. Among the most revered sites is the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, one of the holiest shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. Located along the banks of the Bagmati River, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a powerful center of Hindu faith, where rituals, prayers, and cremation ceremonies are performed daily. Pilgrims come here seeking blessings, especially during the Maha Shivaratri festival, when the temple comes alive with thousands of worshippers and sadhus.

Another popular pilgrimage destination is the Manakamana Temple, nestled atop a hill in the Gorkha district. Devoted to Goddess Bhagwati, believed to fulfill the heartfelt wishes of her devotees, the temple is accessible via a scenic cable car ride that offers breathtaking views of the Trishuli River and Himalayan foothills. Visitors bring offerings such as flowers and sweets, participating in traditional customs with deep devotion. The atmosphere is deeply spiritual yet welcoming, with devotees from Nepal and India flocking year-round, particularly during the Navaratri festival. A journey to Manakamana is not only a spiritual quest but also a chance to witness the harmony between natural beauty and religious devotion that defines Nepal’s sacred landscape.
