Overnight stay in Pokhara, then an early flight to Jomsom followed by a drive to Muktinath Yatra via local jeeps. Return to Jomsom for an overnight stay before flying back to Pokhara the next morning. Additional trips from Pokhara are available upon request, and we offer flexibility in customizing your Pashupatinath and Muktinath Yatra itinerary.
Pashupatinath Temple, a significant Hindu shrine dedicated to Shiva, stands on the banks of the Bagmati River in Nepal's capital. It holds UNESCO World Heritage status.
Manakamana Temple, believed to house Goddess Bhagawati, is situated in the Gorkha district on the way to Pokhara. A well-managed cable car facilitates access to and from the temple.
