Activity itinerary

Sankhu Village

  • 1h
The historic Newar town of Sakhu is often described as a living museum of traditional culture. Once an important trade hub on the ancient Kathmandu–Tibet route, it still retains its medieval charm with narrow brick-paved lanes, tiered temples, and beautifully carved wooden houses. Life here moves at a slower pace — locals gather in community courtyards, small shops sell daily goods, and sacred shrines are part of everyday routines. Sakhu is also famous for its month-long Swasthani Brata Katha festival, when thousands of devotees come to recite holy scriptures and perform rituals by the riverbanks.

Vajrayogini Temple

  • 1h
Perched on a wooded hillside above Sakhu, the Bajrayogini Temple is one of Nepal’s most significant tantric shrines. Dedicated to the goddess Bajrayogini, also revered as the “Goddess of Wisdom,” the temple complex blends Buddhist and Hindu traditions, with legends dating back thousands of years. Pilgrims believe the site radiates spiritual energy and is a place for profound meditation. Reaching the temple involves a short but rewarding climb up a stone staircase, where visitors are greeted by serene surroundings, ancient statues, and panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley. The combination of spiritual depth and natural beauty makes this site unforgettable.

Gokarneshwor

  • 2h
Nestled along the banks of the sacred Bagmati River, the Gokarneshwar Temple is a revered Hindu site dedicated to Lord Shiva. Surrounded by lush greenery, the temple is especially significant during Gokarna Aunsi (Father’s Day in Nepal), when devotees honour their late fathers by performing rituals here. The temple complex features beautiful stone inscriptions, sculptures, and a peaceful riverside setting that feels worlds away from the bustle of Kathmandu. Gokarneshwar is not only a place of devotion but also a serene retreat where visitors can witness the spiritual traditions that continue to thrive in Nepal.
