An Invitation

Maybe your mother lit a diya every morning and said, quietly — one day, Pashupatinath.

Maybe it was your father, who spoke of Muktinath the way some men speak of a debt — or a vow made in a difficult year, when the family promised they would go together before time rearranged who could still travel.

Most families who come to us carry a deferred Nepal pilgrimage — a Pashupatinath darshan for a parent who can no longer travel alone, a Muktinath yatra that found no right moment until now. The sacred journeys that matter are the ones where not a single moment is rushed.

"You are not buying a journey. You are keeping a promise."

That is the only thing Nepalyatri was built to do — so that the elder who held this wish the longest walks to the darshan unhurried, the satvik meals are confirmed before departure, and nothing interrupts the moment your family has been moving towards for years.

Nepal, felt — not just visited.
Ways to Travel

Where does your family's
yatra begin?

Each path can be travelled as a Yatra or a Mahayatra — designed entirely around your family.

Pashupatinath · 4:30 AM
"The priests began the abhishek as the first light reached the Bagmati. There was no crowd. Only my parents, and a morning they had waited for since I was a child."

The Country Behind the Promise

Nepal does not perform its devotion
for visitors. It simply lives it.

Pashupatinath · Muktinath · Janakpur · The Himalayas

The aarti at Pashupatinath begins at dawn whether you are there or not. The bells at a hillside shrine are rung by someone on their way to work. For Indian families carrying a deferred Nepal pilgrimage — the same gods, the same prayers, set against the highest mountains on earth — this is exactly what makes it move them. You do not visit these places. You recognise them.

A Note from the Founder

Too many families arrived in Nepal carrying something precious — a wish held for twenty years — and left having felt only a fraction of it. A queue at the temple. A meal that broke a vow. An elder left sitting outside.

I built Nepalyatri so that never happens again. I plan every yatra myself, and I keep the number small on purpose. From your first message to the morning you land home, you can reach me directly. I am not a middleman. I am the person responsible for your family in Nepal.

II
Muktinath · 3,800m The 108 sacred spouts — guided, unhurried, your family alone with the priest. A darshan found nowhere else on earth.

How We Care for Your Family

Built around the eldest — and the youngest.

In a multi-generational family, the two people we plan most carefully for are the grandparent who waited longest to be here, and the child who will remember this trip for the rest of their life.

I.For the Eldest

"My father is 81. His knees had ended any hope of Muktinath. Santosh arranged the helicopter — one call. Baba stepped off and walked straight in. He completed the darshan and sat in the sun afterward, not saying much. He didn't need to."

Mehta family · Ahmedabad
Helicopter to Muktinath
Direct from Pokhara — the mountain delivered, not asked of them.
Wheelchairs, ready
In place before the crowd arrives — at the 4:30 AM aarti, the chair is already waiting.
Oxygen present
Physically with your guide at altitude — not "available" at a clinic somewhere.
Slow, kind pacing
Two sites a day at most. Rest days built in. Nothing begins before they are ready.
II.For the Children

"We were nervous about bringing a six- and nine-year-old. By day two they were feeding deer at Chitwan and asking the guide which god lived in which temple. They ate proper dal-rice everywhere. Not one tantrum."

Jain family · Pune
Food they'll actually eat
Familiar satvik dal, rice, paratha, fruit — no negotiating at the table.
Shorter temple time
Darshan kept brief and engaging so young ones stay calm and curious.
Moments for them
Chitwan safari, a boat on Phewa Lake, open courtyards to run in.
One family, together
Private vehicles, flexible naps, a guide who keeps every generation close.
Satvik & Jain Comfort

No vow should be broken by a meal.

For many of our families — especially from Gujarat — food is not preference, it is principle. No onion. No garlic. Satvik throughout. We do not arrange this on request. We confirm it before you leave India, and honour it at every hotel, every restaurant, every mountain stop.

What is confirmed for your familyBefore departure
Pure satvik vegetarian for the entire journey — no exceptions, no surprises.
Jain meals with no onion and no garlic, confirmed in writing before you fly.
Honoured at every hotel and mountain stop — your parents never have to ask twice.
Ekadashi & fasting menus arranged in advance for the days you observe them.
Written confirmation reaches you before departure from India — not on arrival in Nepal. Across the entire yatra, no one in your family will need to explain their food at a single table.
Moments That Complete a Yatra

A few additions families never regret.

Add any of these to a Yatra or Mahayatra. Santosh will tell you honestly which are worth it for your group.

Where You Stay

The hotels we trust with our own families.

Personally stayed in and verified by Santosh. Not a booking-engine list.

★★★★★
Kathmandu
Dwarika's Hotel

Living Newari craft, UNESCO recognised. Where pilgrims rest after Pashupatinath, among centuries of carved wood.

★★★★★
Pokhara
Fish Tail Lodge

A private island on Phewa Lake. Mountains above, stillness all around, the Annapurnas reflected at your feet.

★★★★★
Chitwan
Meghauli Serai

A Taj safari lodge on the Rapti river. Wild beauty held inside elder-worthy comfort.

★★★★
Nagarkot
Club Himalaya

The clearest Himalayan sunrise in Nepal. Worth waking at five for — and you will not be the only one awake.

Every property is chosen for one reason — whether we would send our own parents there.
Real Yatra Reflections

Years later, it is the feeling they speak about.

★★★★★

"My mother's knees weren't good. The wheelchair was there at 4:30 AM, before any crowd. She completed all 108 spouts and wept quietly. We never once felt rushed."

Patel Family
Surat · Family of 7 · Autumn
★★★★★

"Jain food, confirmed before we left India, honoured at every single meal. My in-laws didn't have to ask once. For us, that was everything."

Shah Family
Ahmedabad · Family of 5 · Spring
★★★★★

"We went to Janakpur for our anniversary. Janaki Mandir at dawn — just the two of us before anyone else arrived. The Ram-Sita connection there is something you feel, not just see."

Desai Couple

★★★★★

"We chose the Mahayatra for my father, 81. The helicopter meant he arrived at Muktinath completely rested and walked straight to the darshan. Worth every rupee."

Mehta Family

★★★★★

"I organised it from London for my parents' 50th. Santosh answered every message himself. I kept waiting for something to go wrong. Nothing did."

Before You Plan

The questions families actually ask.

Honest, complete answers — for you, and for the way people search today.

Yes. Indian citizens may enter Nepal on an original Aadhaar card or Voter ID. No passport, no visa, no embassy visit. Photocopies are not accepted — the original document is required.
Yatra (from ₹68,000 pp, twin sharing) includes 4★ heritage hotels, mountain flights to Jomsom/Muktinath, VIP darshan, a private guide, all domestic flights, satvik & Jain meals, and insurance to 4,000m. Mahayatra (from ₹1,10,000 pp) adds 5★ palace hotels, a direct helicopter to Muktinath, butler service and premium temple access. The journey is the same — the comfort is greater.
Muktinath sits at 3,800 metres, but the temple complex is flat and paved — there is no trekking. We design the day around the eldest traveller: optional helicopter access from Pokhara, oxygen physically present, wheelchair arrangements made before crowds, and pacing that never rushes.
Janakpur is the birthplace of Sita and home to Janaki Mandir — one of the most sacred Ram-Sita pilgrimage sites in the world. Unlike most Nepal operators who treat it as an add-on day trip, Nepalyatri offers a dedicated 4-day Janakpur Yatra, allowing families to experience the temple at dawn in full unhurried depth.
Yes — and they are confirmed in writing before you leave India, not arranged on request. Satvik vegetarian throughout; Jain meals with no onion and no garlic, honoured at every hotel, restaurant and mountain stop. Ekadashi and fasting menus arranged in advance.
VIP darshan means priority temple entry with a dedicated priest, coordinated before your family arrives — so there is no general queue. Arranged at Pashupatinath, Muktinath and Janakpur for families who should not have to wait for a moment they waited decades for.
Yes. We keep the pace gentle with shorter temple visits, serve familiar satvik food children will actually eat, and include child-friendly moments — Chitwan jungle safari, a boat on Phewa Lake, open courtyards to run in. A private vehicle and patient guide keep the whole family together.
Every yatra is planned personally by founder Santosh Neupane in Kathmandu, and the number of journeys each year is kept intentionally small. He is reachable directly on WhatsApp from your first enquiry to the morning your family lands home.
