About the service

Pilgrimage Tours in Nepal, With a Driver Who Knows the Way

Nepal is home to some of the holiest sites in Hinduism and Buddhism, and visiting them is often a family occasion. Our religious tour rental service provides a comfortable vehicle and an experienced local driver, so everyone travels together and can focus on the darshan, not the road.

For temples within the valley, such as Pashupatinath, Budhanilkantha, Dakshinkali and Changunarayan, a car is all you need. For longer pilgrimages, a seven-seat Scorpio or jeep carries the whole family to Manakamana, Janakpur and Lumbini, and has the ground clearance for the road through Mustang to Muktinath.

Plan ahead for the festival seasons. Dashain and Tihar are our busiest times, and Maha Shivaratri and Buddha Jayanti draw big crowds to Pashupatinath and Lumbini. Share your dates and the temples you plan to visit, and we'll arrange the right vehicle and driver.

Questions About Religious Tour Rental

Quick answers before you book

Can I book a vehicle for a religious tour?

Yes. We provide comfortable vehicles with drivers for pilgrimages to places like Pashupatinath, Manakamana, Muktinath, Lumbini and Janakpur.

The road to Muktinath runs through Mustang, so choose a jeep or Scorpio for the extra ground clearance, and we recommend booking it with a driver.

As early as you can. Demand is highest around Dashain and Tihar, and the popular seven-seaters go first.
