What You’ll Experience: The Main Temple: A stunning pagoda-style structure with golden roofs and silver doors, where devotees offer prayers (only Hindus are allowed inside the inner sanctum). Bagmati River Rituals: Witness open-air cremations along the ghats, a profound insight into Hindu death rites and the cycle of life. Sadhus (Holy Men): Meet ascetic yogis covered in ash, meditating or blessing visitors—great for cultural photography.

A must to do Tour in Nepal: Kathmandu Pokhara Tour

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I cannot recommend Recreation Holidays enough for anyone looking to experience the heart of Nepal. Our journey through the vibrant streets of Kathmandu was incredible, but the magic really happened in Pokhara. Floating through the sky while paragliding over the lake with a backdrop of the Himalayas was a true bucket-list moment that they organized flawlessly. We loved the peaceful boat rides and the stunning sunrise views that made every morning feel special. The team made travel so easy and stress-free, allowing us to just soak in the beauty of the mountains. A massive thank you for a 5-star experience!

5.00Our Kathmandu and Pokhara tour with Recreation Holidays exceeded all expectations. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, balancing cultural exploration with relaxation and scenic beauty. We loved discovering Kathmandu's historic temples and heritage sites, and Pokhara's peaceful lakeside atmosphere with incredible mountain views was simply magical. Transportation was punctual, hotels were excellent, and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience even more enriching. Thank you to the Recreation Holidays team for creating such a seamless and memorable trip we would definitely travel with them again!
