You'll be taken to your pre-arranged hotel. After reaching the hotel, you'll complete the check-in formalities and have a short nap to refresh yourself for the happenings of the day. Once you feel fresh and rejuvenated, you'll head to the Pashupatinath Mandir and attend the holy Aarti Darshan. The temple is devoted to the god Shiva in his Pashupati form, protector of animals. A religious foundation has existed at the temple since the fifth century BCE. The original buildings were renovated, and metal and stone structures were built in the fifteenth century CE.

• Day 02 – Kathmandu – Muktinath

  Wake up early in the morning and get an excellent start to your day by having a delicious breakfast. After breakfast, you'll check out from the hotel and undertake a flight to Muktinath. During the flying journey of 1 hour and 15 minutes on a charter helicopter, you'll relish the beautiful sceneries and appreciate nature. The flight will drop you off at the Ranipauwa helipad. From here, the temple is around 7 minutes away from the bike. On foot, you'll have to spend at least 25 minutes to complete this distance.

  The temple is also called Mukti Kshetra, meaning "place of salvation." The temple is visited by Jains and Hindus to connect with Tirthankara Rishabhanatha's spiritual energy, to seek blessings for liberation and self-development, to perform ceremonies and rituals for the deceased, and to meditate in peaceful surroundings. After the Darshan, you'll take a sacred bath under the one hundred and eight Muktidhara, which provides salvation. After that, you will be dropped at the helipad of Ranipauwa. You'll flow back to Kathmandu from here. You can spend the evening as you want and stay overnight at the hotel.
