Pashupatinath Pitru Moksha Yatra

Embark on a deeply spiritual 4-day pilgrimage in Kathmandu, centered on Lord Shiva’s sacred Pashupatinath Temple, one of Hinduism’s holiest sites. This yatra focuses on performing powerful ancestral rituals like Panchamrit Puja and Pitru Dosh Removal Puja (including Tarpan/Shraddha on the holy Bagmati River banks) to seek moksha (liberation) for departed ancestors, remove Pitru Dosh, and bring peace, blessings, and harmony to your family lineage. Combined with visits to revered Shakti Peeths, stupas, and temples like Guheshwori, Boudhanath, Budhanilkantha, Chandragiri’s Bhaleshwor Mahadev, Swayambhunath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square, this journey offers profound spiritual purification, divine darshan, and panoramic Himalayan views in Nepal’s cultural heart.
