Pilgrimage
Easy
Join the great night of Shiva at Pashupatinath, then trek the sacred Himalaya. Pilgrim trails, sadhus and crisp pre-spring mountain air.
Maha Shivaratri — the 'great night of Shiva' — draws hundreds of thousands of pilgrims and sadhus to Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, one of the most spectacular religious gatherings in South Asia.
It's a natural launch point for a sacred-trail trek: Gosaikunda, the alpine lake holy to Shiva, and Muktinath, revered by Hindus and Buddhists alike, are both within easy reach.
Early March still carries the crisp clarity of winter's end, with quiet trails before the spring crowds arrive.

Pilgrims and Naga sadhus (holy men) gather through the night to worship Lord Shiva with bonfires, chanting and offerings. It's an unforgettable cultural experience.
Gosaikunda — a sacred lake associated with Shiva — and the Muktinath pilgrimage are the most fitting, though weather at Gosaikunda's altitude can still be wintry in early March.
