As we are visiting temples, conservative attire is recommended. temples will not allow entry if you wear sleeveless and deep neck tops / dresses, or shorts and skirts that are above the knees. Pants, long skirts, tunic if you're wearing western. if you can get traditional attire, that would be best.

From a weather standpoint, its best to check temperatures before you leave. We will have some additional guidance as get closer to our departure dates.

A recommended packing list for clothes, toiletries, shoes, medicines etc. will be provided as we get closer to the departure dates.

The best airline will depend on your departure city. We highly highly recommend booking directly with the airlines, and choosing an airline that is offering refunds or flexible changes.

We will begin our journey in Kathmandu, so please land there. The pilgrimage will end in Kathmandu as well, so a round trip can be booked should you wish.
