Overview of Nepal Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour
Buddha was
born in a place found in today's Lumbini. He grew to light up, and thousands of
people followed his teachings as he traveled long distances from his home. Upon
his return, his family and many others converted to Buddhism. Some of his
family and students moved to Kathmandu to establish Buddhism. Princess Bhrikuti
of Nepal contributed to Buddhism's spread in Tibet, so sculptors like Araniko
and Newari can find Nepalese architecture at Tibetan Buddhist sites.
The Buddhist
tour in Nepal takes you to various stupas, monasteries, and temples dedicated
to the preservation and spread of Buddhism. Hindus in Nepal show respect and
tolerance for Buddhism. They even share various religious sites that people of
both religions adore. Tibetan Buddhism, Newari Buddhism, and Theravada Buddhism
practiced in Nepal. Tibetan Buddhism is widespread, and We can see Its
influence in monasteries, temples, and stupas. Newari Buddhism forms a
Vajrayana Buddhism that is inspired by Theravada Buddhism. It is a non-monastic
system with various outdoor rituals and festivals, such as jatras. The Jatra is

Essential Information
Visa
Requirements
All
foreigners need a visa to enter Nepal. You can get it at a Nepalese embassy
abroad or upon arrival in Nepal. Most people obtain their visa upon arrival at
Kathmandu airport.
You will
need a passport photo and the following fees depending:
15 days USD $ 25 or an equivalent convertible currency
30 days USD $ 40 or an equivalent convertible currency
90 days USD 100 or equivalent convertible currency
Cultural
consideration
For those of
you visiting Nepal, we recommend cultural information to help you adjust and
feel good:
The dress
code is essential for both men and women. Men and women should wear pants
instead of shorts during a tour in Kathmandu. It's fine for men in vests, but
Women should try to be as modest as possible in these situations.
Hindus are
concerned about ritual contamination of food when someone outside their caste
or religion touches it. Therefore, do not touch any cooked food on display.
When you drink from a container used by others, do not touch your lips. Do not
eat with your left hand, and be sure to eat or receive only your right hand.
The shoes are considered degrading. So keep them on the floor and take them out
before you put your feet on something. When entering a Nepal house, follow the
example of your host to decide if you want to take off your shoes. However,
when you enter a temple or monastery, you must remove them.
You will
pass Buddhist walls, Chorten, and Buddhist stupas along the way, and follow
local traditions and place them on your right.
Travel
insurance
Travel
insurance for each itinerary of our company is a prerequisite for booking
vacations. At a minimum, you must have emergency health and repatriation
insurance that must include the cost of mountain rescue, theft, loss, damage,
and clinical problems. It is a brilliant idea when you travel to Nepal. A
variety of policies are available. Please read your insurers' general terms and
conditions carefully; mainly, they write in an essential part in small print.
Some guidelines exclude "dangerous activities," including
motorcycling and trekking, bungee jumping, and rafting.
Select a
policy covering emergency and clinical repatriation, including the evacuation
of walking helicopters and general medical evacuation. You may prefer a policy
that pays hospitals directly instead of paying locally and making subsequent
claims. In Nepal, most clinical treatments must pay at delivery. If your
insurance company doesn't make an advance payment, make sure you receive the
receipts to claim them later.
