Provides Diamox medicine, duffel bag, and small day bag will be provided. Evening Aarati Darshan at Pashupatinath as well as Aarati holy dance on the banks of holy river Baghmati in front of Pashupatinath. Back at the hotel, we enjoy a vegetarian buffet dinner.

11 May 2027 (Tuesday) Day 02: As mentioned in the following itinerary, after breakfast we will begin our full-guided holy sightseeing in Kathmandu valley. One of the tallest Shiva temples in Nepal is Kailashnath Mahadev Statue. After the Garuda wisnu Kencana Statue in Bali, Indonesia, it is the second tallest Hindu deity. The Kailash Nath Shiva statue is located in Sanga, Nepal, about 20 km from Kathmandu. This 144 foot / 44-meter-high statue was constructed using copper, zinc, cement, and steel. After Saga, visit Doleshwor Mahadev temple for Darshan.

Visit Doleshwor: For Shiva devotees, a trip to Kailash is incomplete without visiting Doleshwor Mahadev and Pashupatinath temples in Kathmandu. Kedarnath, one of the Char Dham Yatra was officially declared the head of the Char Dham Yatra on Aug. 22, 2009. In 2013, after the devastating flood hit Kedarnath Temple in Uttarkhand, regular prayers were conducted in Doleshwor Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal. Kedarnath Temple's head priest requested regular prayers to be held in Doleshwor Mahadev Temple instead of Kedarnath Temple.

Buddhist Temple Boudhanath Stupa: World heritage site recognized by UNESCO. Buddhism is a pilgrimage destination for Tibetans because of its enormous stupa. Visit nearby monasteries and schools for prayers and seminars and stroll around the gleaming white dome adorned with painted Buddha eyes. Nepal's Boudhanath stupa is located in Kathmandu. This stupa is one of Nepal's largest spherical stupas, located about 10km from Kathmandu's center and northeastern outskirts.

You can visit Swayambhunath if time permits or see the Buddha Stupa dominating the skyline. Swayambhunath is a little hillock northwest of Kathmandu city where you can find peace and pray. Since the 1970s, visitors who found the name tongue-twister have called it "Monkey Temple." There is a panoramic view of the city from Swayambhunath, which overlooks most of the valley. With Hindu temples and deities incorporated in this Buddhist site, the stupa has stood for centuries as a symbol of faith and harmony. Here is said to be the beginning of the glory of Kathmandu Valley.

Visit Guhyeshwari / There are eight mother goddesses in the Astha Matrilas (Eight Mother Goddesses). Among them is Guhyeshori Shakti Pith temple. According to the Hindu legend Pauranik Katha. When Shiva's first consort SATI DEVI was insulted by her husband, she dropped herself into YAGYAAKUND (a religious fire ceremony). His corpse was burned senseless by grief when Shiva retrieved her and flew from Nepal to India. In the area where SATI DEVI's body lies, 51 Shakti Piths can be found. We call Guhyeshori the place where her secret part (GOPYA) vagina fell to, which we call Guhyeshori. We return to the hotel for a vegetarian buffet lunch, and she protects the deities of the Kathmandu Valley as well.

12 May 2027 (Wednesday) Day 03: Kailash pilgrims are taken to Pashupatinath temple for Rudrabhishek, Hawan, and Aarati early in the morning. Seven or eleven Brahmin priests prepare the fire offering Hawan in the pavilion (mandap) and perform Sankalpa Pooja, followed by Swasti Vachan (preaching), Nyas, Rudra preaching, and Mahamritunjaya Pooja (death victory). 'Rudra', meaning 'Fearful Lord Shiva', is derived from Rudrabhishek, Rudranti Iti Rudri and Rudhiryoge Metal. The meaning is that people on this Earth are suffering from pain, violence, and greed, and that we sing religious hymns in praise of God Shiva to help them escape from these miseries & to attain justice, good health, prosperity, peace & salvation.

Rudri is done for peace of mind. Pilgrims spend the first day of their Kailash tour visiting Pashupatinath and worshipping there. Devotees are said to receive good merits for worshiping Lord Pashupatinath and performing Aarati. As a result, the Kailash Tour is considered complete only after a holy visit to Pashupatinath. One of the most important pilgrimage sites is Kailash Manasarovar. In addition to Jyothirlinga and Shiva temples, Kailash is a place of pilgrimage. Humans are superior to Soul, Sages are superior to Humans, Gods are superior to sages, and Lord Shiva is superior to Gods even, and Kailash is the dwelling place of the supreme Lord Shiva. As a result, no pilgrimage would be complete without a visit to Kailash. A popular religious custom is to wish for a successful Kailash Tour by performing Rudra (Shiva's idol) Consecration and fire offering (Hawan) to Lord Pashupatinath, which takes 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Budhanilkantha (Jal Narayan): Budhanilkantha (Jal Narayan) Vishnu Temple located in Budhanilkantha, Nepal, is a Hindu open air temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. At the northern end of Kathmandu valley, Budhanilkantha Temple can be identified by a large reclining statue of Lord Vishnu below the Shivapuri Hill. Budhanilkantha depicts Vishnu floating as if he were a giant astronaut on a bed of snakes in the middle of a big pool of water. As the name implies, Budhanilkantha means "mud disguised blue throat" and has nothing to do with Buddha. The peculiar name refers to two legends attached to the statue, one of them saying that a farmer found the long lost statue in the mud when working his field with a plough and the other saying that Vishnu sacrificed himself by drinking the poison of the cosmic ocean, which then turned his throat blue.

Mount Kailash: Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism are said to have originated in this part of the world. The holy books such as Ramayana and Mahabharata glorify Kailash Parbat. A civilization without a description of Kailash Parbat is incomplete, according to ancient Asian stories. It is located in Tibet and is known as Kailash Parbat. There is a lack of satisfactory scientific research in this region. The religious Parbat stretches from the Brahmaputra in the east to the Karakoram in the west. According to Buddhist and Shaiba literature, Kailash is the center of the world, being the center of Sumeru. Hindus believe it to be the residence of Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati. In the name of Kang Rinpoche, Buddhists. Revere it. Kailash and Manasarovar are considered great natural Mandalas by Buddhists. For them, the Mandala represents respect and salvation. This isolated peak is worshipped by Jains as Aspada. This is the same place where founding father of this religion, Rishavadev, received spiritual salvation.

Various logics can be used to claim that this Parbat is sacred. The isolated Parbat is also the source of the Brahmaputra, Satlaj, Indus, and Karnali rivers. The total periphery of Mount Kailash is 53 km and pilgrims should walk 38 km within 3 days and if add Charan Sparsh (Touch Kailash) tour then it will be 4 days' kora. Hindu mythology states that a person who moves around Kailash Parbat will be free from all sins committed during their lifetime. Nirvana is directly achieved if they move round the Parbat 108 times. A person who moves Nandi once gets a return equivalent to moving around the Kailash 13 times.

It is believed that Kailash Parvat is the form of Lord Shiva, and that the water flowing from its snowy tip is the holy river Ganges.

Goddess Parvati Mata bathed in this Gauri Kund where Gauri Mata resuscitated a picture of her beloved son Ganesh made from a cleaning agent frothing on her body. As Ganesh jee stood on the path to prevent unknown from entering her holy deep, Lord Shiva appeared on Mt. Kailash but Ganesh jee didn't recognize him.
