The Kedarnath Trio of Nepal
Pashupatinath Temple – Doleshower Mahadev – Dupteshower Mahadev Temple Tour
Complete the Kedarnath pilgrimage in Nepal: darshan of Pashupatinath, the hump of the sacred bull, with Doleshwor Mahadev — the head — and Dupteshwor Mahadev, in one short and deeply fulfilling tour.
Yatra Overview
“Kedarnath did not leave the Himalaya — he rests in three shrines of Nepal, waiting for those who seek him.”
Legend tells that when the Pandavas sought Shiva to absolve them, he sank into the earth at Kedarnath — and reappeared in parts across the Himalaya. In Nepal, Doleshwor Mahadev holds his head and Pashupatinath his sacred presence, while Dupteshwor Mahadev completes the hidden triad revered by pilgrims.
This short tour is designed for pilgrims with limited days who wish to receive the complete Kedarnath-trio blessing: evening aarti at Pashupatinath on arrival, full darshan and puja at Doleshwor with Guhyeshwari Shaktipeeth, and a hill drive to the serene shrine of Dupteshwor Mahadev.
All pujas are led by our pandit with samagri arranged, meals are pure veg sattvik, and a private vehicle with driver and guide stays with you throughout.
