Nepal · PASHUPATINATH TOURS

“I had the pleasure of joining the Evening Aarati Tour at Pashupatinath Temple, and it was truly a memorable experience; made even better by our guide, Razz! From the moment the tour began, Razz impressed me with his deep knowledge not only of the Pashupatinath Temple and its rich Hindu traditions, but also of Buddhism, which added a wonderful layer of context to everything I saw and experienced. He explained the rituals, symbolism, and history in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, even for someone unfamiliar with the culture.

“My guide Bhum Raj was excellent. He was knowledgeable and thorough and his educational qualifications added to our very good conversation on this tour. Pashupatinath itself is out of this world amazing -- we went in the early evening and once it became dark the fast flowing river, burning funeral pyres and mass audience on stone bleachers was like something out of Indiana Jones for a Canadian like me. Pashupatinath is one of the very great things I've experienced across a lot of travelling and it alone makes the trip to Nepal a unique global experience.”
