The oldest and the most sacred places of worship for Hindus in Nepal, the Pashupatinath Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is also known as Pashupatinath- the Lord of Animals. The temple is situated 3 kilometers to the northwest of Kathmandu, on the banks of Bagmati River, which later joins river Ganga. Thousands of pilgrims, particularly the elderlies, visit here to spend their last days and be cremated on the banks of the holy river. What brings them here is the belief that those who die in this temple are born as humans in their next lives, regardless of their karma.

    Mr. Pravin Tripathi from Tripathi Travels customised our tour as per our requirements. We started from Kathmandu and ended at Gorakhpur. He arranged one of his best drivers named Balram to help us as a tour guide and driver. He guided us at all the tourist spots. I recommend tripathi travels. Praveen sir and Balram were daily enquiring about our experience on daily basis throughout our trip. Nepal is beautiful country to visit. Nepali people are also helpful and polite. ...more

    Annapurna Circuit Hiking - Absolutely Amazing !!! My Partner & I did AC circuit with Santosh & Sumit. This was my first trek with Santosh & was such an amazing experience. From the minute Santosh met us at Kathmandu Airport to the minute he dropped us off he was nothing but amazing. He took wonderful care of us, made sure we both had a wonderful experience & was a very professional, well organised guide. He ensured we stayed in best tea houses at each village & called ahead to ensure we had the best room secured. He always went out of his way to look after us. We got a bit sick a couple of times but Santosh took very good care of us & got us some meds to treat (stomach bug) issues. Santosh & Sumit (Porter) were great to be with, always happy & friendly & enjoyed nightly games of cards with them. Santosh was very flexible & suggested changes to the listed itinerary to ensure we got ...more
