Overview
Four days entirely devoted to Kathmandu Valley's sacred side — from the riverside rituals at Pashupatinath and the Tantric energy of Guhyeshwari Shaktipeeth, to the Tibetan Buddhist calm of Boudhanath Stupa and Budhanilkantha's reclining Vishnu. A Chandragiri Hills cable car ride adds sweeping Himalayan views, and Swayambhunath's hilltop stupa rounds out the pilgrimage before a final morning for handicraft shopping in Thamel. Built for travelers who want Kathmandu done properly and unhurried, without adding Pokhara or Chitwan into the mix.

FAQs
Do Indian travelers need a visa for Kathmandu?
No — Nepal is visa-free for Indian nationals for any purpose, including pilgrimage and tourism. A valid Indian passport or an original Election Commission Voter ID card is accepted as proof of nationality; a passport is recommended if you're flying, since airlines generally expect one at check-in even though Nepal itself doesn't require it for entry.
Is this trip suitable for a pilgrimage-focused visit?
Yes — this itinerary is built specifically around Kathmandu's major temples and sacred sites: Pashupatinath (Lord Shiva), Guhyeshwari (an important Shaktipeeth), Budhanilkantha (a revered reclining Vishnu shrine), plus the Buddhist sites of Boudhanath and Swayambhunath stupas — giving a genuinely comprehensive pilgrimage experience across Hindu and Buddhist traditions in a single trip.
Is the Chandragiri Hills cable car included in the package price?
This is worth clarifying before you book: the itinerary includes a Chandragiri Hills excursion by cable car as part of Day 3's sightseeing, but the standard exclusions list notes cable car ticket fees aren't included unless specifically pre-added. In practice, this usually means the excursion itself is on the itinerary, but the cable car ticket cost may be payable separately at the base station — confirm this directly with your booking office so there's no surprise cost on the day.
Do we need to carry cash, or are cards widely accepted?
Carry Nepali Rupees as your primary currency — ATMs are reliable in central Kathmandu but can be unreliable in more remote stretches, and many smaller temple-area shops and cafés operate cash-only.
Can we add Pokhara or Chitwan to this trip?
Not within this specific package, which is designed as a focused Kathmandu-only experience. If you'd like to see Nepal's lakes and jungle as well, ask us about our longer Namaste Nepal package, which covers Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara together.
What's the cancellation policy?
The package is non-refundable and non-changeable once confirmed — please confirm current terms and availability directly with the booking office before making final payment, since rates are dynamic and not guaranteed until written hotel confirmation is received.
