Why Choose Nepal Hindu Pilgrimage Tour?
Nepal's Hindu pilgrimage sites are renowned and well-known across the world. It is one of the world's spiritual centers for Hindus. There are several temples dedicated to the worship of various deities such as Vishnu, Shiva, and Shaktis. In Nepal, ancient temples referenced in several writings such as the Puranas and Itihasa may be viewed and visited in order to purify our thoughts and hearts.
Pashupatinath is among the most famous Hindu site in the world, and the temple itself is the largest Hindu temple devoted to Lord Shiva, located on the banks of the Bagmati River. Almost every Hindu pilgrim wants to do a supplication in front of the Pashupatinath temple at least once in their lives. The cremation placed on the banks of the Bagmati River, where most Hindus are cremated after death, and the adjoining forest, which is protected and regarded as mystical and sacred, are the principal elements surrounding Pashupatinath. UNESCO has previously listed the temple as a World Heritage Site. A large number of devotees, including national and international celebrities and delegations, have visited and continue to visit the Pashupatinath temple. The Temple devoted to Guyeshwari, the hidden Tantric form of Parvati and Shakti, is about a kilometer away from Pashupatinath. Another name for the goddess in the temple is Guhyekali. It is a renowned pilgrimage destination for Tantra practitioners.
Narayanthan temple, also known as Budhanilkantha temple, is a well-known Lord Vishnu shrine on Kathmandu's outskirts. After a short trek towards the base of Shivapuri hill, we arrive at Budhanilkantha temple, where we may worship the sleeping statue of Lord Narayan (Vishnu) in a 5-meter-long pond. A farmer plowing in the region is thought to have discovered the statue after striking it with his plough and causing it to bleed.
Sankata Temple, also located in Kathmandu is one of the important tantric shrines in the valley. One curious aspect of the deity is that Hindus regard Sankata as a goddess, whilst Buddhists regard the deity as Achala. The goddess statue is covered with cloth, leaving only her head exposed. It is widely held that devotion to Sankata can fend off problems and negative omens from one's life. Even though religious ceremonies are performed every day, most people visit the temple on Saturdays or on their birthdays.
Manakamana Mandir is located on the way to Pokhara. The name 'Manakamana' denotes that she is the goddess of desire fulfillment. A trip to Manakamana also provides a panoramic view of mountain peaks in the north. Mt. Manaslu, Mt. Himchuli, and Mt. Annapurna are just a few of the popular remote mountains. The cable car journey to the main temple takes around 10 minutes from the station on the bank of the Trisuli River, which is 3 hours distant from Kathmandu. The distance from the bottom to the hill is 2.8 kilometers. The cable car's bottom station is located at a height of 258 meters, while the top station is located at a height of 1302 meters.
In Pokhara, we go to Sarangkot for a wonderful view of the valley and surrounding mountains. From Sarangkot we move towards the Bindabasini Temple, the oldest temple located in Pokhara dedicated to Bindabasini, the incarnation of Kali. The temple is atop a hill and has a small religious complex at the top. After our visit to Bindabasini we visit the Fewa lake in the middle and after a short boat ride, reach the temple of Tal Barahi, an incarnation of the consort of Vishnu. The Phewa lake sees many pilgrims as well as tourists who want to boat and pay respects to the deity. From Tal Barahi, we head towards the Cave of Gupteshwar, which houses a shrine dedicated to a form of lord Shiva. The temple lies a few meters below ground in a limestone cave which you can explore as well.
From Pokhara, we take a domestic flight to the mountain village of Jomsom. A slight distance away is the Muktinath Temple, one of the holiest sites in Nepal. Also called Mukti Kshetra, which literally means "region of salvation" in Hinduism, this is one of Nepal's oldest temples dedicated to the God Vishnu. The temple is one of the eight sacred places known as Svayam Vyakta Kshetras, Self-disclosed Regions It is also one of the 51 Shakti Pitha goddess locations. Buddhists refer to Muktinath as Chumming Gyatsa, which translates to "Hundred Waters" in Tibetan. Chumig Gyatsa is a sacred site of the Dakinis goddesses known as Sky Dancers, as well as one of the 24 famous Tantric sites, according to Tibetan Buddhism. Furthermore, the major temple's deity is thought to be a manifestation of Avalokitesvara. According to Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Guru Rinpoche meditated here on his route to Tibet.
The Swayambhu Purana, a collection of legends about the area written in the 15th century, mentions a miracle lotus that a former Buddha planted and which rose from the water that once covered the Kathmandu Valley. As a result of the lotus' exceptionally brilliant light projection, the area came to be known as Swayambhu, which is Sanskrit for "Self-Created or Self-Existent." The bodhisattva Manjushri was deeply touched by the intensity of the brilliant light and thought that by draining the lake, Swayambhu would be more easily accessible to outsiders. With his two-edged blade, Manjushri honed a canyon in the mountains encircling the lake. After that, the water drained away and disappeared. After that, the lotus changed into a hill, and the light created the Swayabhunath Stupa.
Our trip culminates as we visit the temples in Sankhu and the numerous temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, and others in Bhaktapur. The city is decked with shrines and temples galore. The main attraction is the Nyatapola temple, the highest temple in Nepal, and the Dattatreya Temple.
Best Season for Nepal Hindu Pilgrimage Tour
