Client Reviews

Asha Kumar

India

“I recently completed the 6-day spiritual tour to Pashupatinath, Janakpur & Manakamana with Himalayan Pilgrimage Journey, and it was deeply moving. Our guide, Ravi, was knowledgeable, gentle, and full of stories about the mythology of each temple. I especially loved Janaki Temple in Janakpur — standing at the spot where Goddess Sita was born was a dream come true. The Manakamana cable car ride was thrilling, and the prayers at the hilltop temple brought a sense of peace. Sushil, the trip manager, was extremely supportive — he answered all my concerns promptly and kept the schedule smooth. This pilgrimage felt very personal and sacred; I would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking a spiritual journey in Nepal.”

“My spiritual journey with Himalayan Pilgrimage Journey to Nepal’s most sacred sites surpassed all expectations. Leon, our guide, offered deep historical and spiritual context at Pashupatinath and Janakpur — his calm presence made each temple visit meditative rather than rushed. The evening aarti by the Bagmati River was unforgettable. At Manakamana, riding the cable car at dawn and witnessing the sunrise over the gorge was magical. Sushil, the manager, ensured we had vegetarian meals, clean hotels, and spiritual space to reflect. Highly recommended for soulful travelers.”

“This 6-day pilgrimage tour truly felt like a spiritual retreat. Anjali, our guide, was warm, insightful, and very patient. She guided us through the rituals at Pashupatinath and shared beautiful stories about Janaki and Rama in Janakpur. The Manakamana temple visit was a highlight – the cable car ride, the hilltop view, and the heartfelt prayers left me deeply moved. Sushil, the manager, was available throughout the trip, handling logistics and making sure our group was comfortable and spiritually supported. This trip was the perfect balance of devotion, culture, and peace.”
