Jaw dropping experience at both Pashupatinath Temple and Bodhnath Stupa. We were lucky to catch a special celebration at Bodhnath Stupa, learned about Buddhist art, and received blessing from a monk at temple. Then we arrived at the Pashupatinath Temple just in time for their nightly festival of light. We learned a lot about the religion and their rituals. The festival was a great experience mingling with dancing and singing worshipers. A highly recommended experience!I did this tour on my last afternoon in Kathmandu, and it was perfect: a wonderful guide (Kishor) who gave clear insight into spirituality in Nepal and knew everything (seemingly!) about the sites we visited.

I did this tour on my last afternoon in Kathmandu, and it was perfect: a wonderful guide (Kishor) who gave clear insight into spirituality in Nepal and knew everything (seemingly!) about the sites we visited. Kishor also has perfect English so he was able to answer all my questions, and a curiosity about other cultures and countries as well as his own. If I hadn't been leaving the next day I would have booked him for a private tour of something else in Kathmandu :-) Doing this tour in the afternoon is ideal too because that's when Boudinath Stupa is most beautiful and busiest - with maroon-robed Tibetan nuns, monks and other pilgrims circumambulating the stupa, a sight to behold.cost mentioned for visit 1kathmandu pasupati and bouddha for 1 is 6100 and for 3 Is 18300. bus actual cost for 3 is 12000.00 include guide; intrance fee; transprtation 5 hr

It's not to miss. Not only sacred but very festive and gives you a true feel of Kathmandu. It's attended by many locals.

Attended the so called Spiritual tour in early November 2017. Very good guide, a young woman named Gyanu, and she spoke just about the best English I ever heard in Kathmandu. But why, according to the costs in Nepal, so expensive? Over 50 US dollars for about three hours? (when you can have a decent hotelroom for 5 dollars and a good 3-course dinner for 10) . The answer is obvious when googling. Urbanadventures is not nepalese. Furthermore you are expected to pay everyone involved, from the guides to the rickshawdrivers (took part in an evening rikhshaw tour as well) quite some tip. Why? Why are they not paid by the company? There is a company named Socialtours, an better option. Cheaper and you support the locals! Because of the price, I am not giving a top score.Had a fantastic afternoon in the company of a wonderful guide Pratistha! Good communicates and shows high level of knowledge. Get to see many of the highlights of Kathmandu! Highly recommend this tour!
