At Amazing Himalaya Trekking Private Limited, we had the honor of organizing a sacred pilgrimage for a devoted group from Shetfale, Maharashtra, to Kathmandu. Covering an incredible 4,500 kilometers on foot, this journey, undertaken just before Navratri, was a true reflection of the pilgrims’ deep faith and endurance.
Their ultimate destination is Kathmandu. Here, they sought blessings at the sacred Guheswari Temple, dedicated to Goddess Parvati, and the world-renowned Pashupatinath Temple, a revered site for Lord Shiva devotees.
This incredible journey, which took around 90 days, was truly inspiring. Fifty devoted pilgrims set out on this sacred path from Shetfale to Kathmandu, completing an unforgettable spiritual adventure that touched the hearts of everyone involved.
Fifty devoted pilgrims from Shetfale, Maharashtra, started a 90-day, 4,500-kilometer spiritual journey to Kathmandu, seeking blessings at the sacred Guheswari and Pashupatinath Temples before Navratri, a true testament to their unwavering faith and endurance.
The Route: A Long but Fulfilling Path
The pilgrims embarked on a transformative journey, starting from Shetfale and passing through several historic and spiritually significant cities.
Here is the list of routes covered during this sacred journey.
Shetfale to Nasik:
The journey commenced in Nasik, a city steeped in religious significance and known for its connection to the epic Ramayana. The pilgrims stopped at the sacred ghats along the Godavari River, soaking in the divine aura.
Nasik to Kolhapur (Mumbai):
Kolhapur, with its bustling energy and the majestic Mahalakshmi Temple, added another layer of spiritual blessings to the journey. Here, the pilgrims paid their respects to the goddess and continued their path with renewed faith.
Kolhapur to Jhansi:
The historical city of Jhansi provided a serene and reflective pause. The pilgrims drew inspiration from the city’s deep-rooted history and continued onward with a sense of purpose.
Jhansi to Lucknow & Ayodhya:
Traveling from Jhansi to Lucknow, a city famed for its Nawabi culture and spiritual ambiance, the journey continues to Ayodhya, a sacred city rich in Hindu and Buddhist history and the revered birthplace of Lord Rama. Ayodhya, a major pilgrimage site, draws devotees from around the world and symbolizes India’s deep religious heritage and cultural significance.
Along the way, the group paused for quiet reflection, finding moments of peace and introspection before moving on to their next destination.
Lucknow to Sunauli (Nepal border):
Upon reaching Sunauli, the pilgrims crossed into Nepal, their anticipation building as they neared the sacred valley of Kathmandu.
Sunauli to Kathmandu:
The final destination of this religious tour is Kathmandu. In the heart of the Himalayas, they visited Pashupatinath Temple and Guheswari Temple.
A Warm Welcome in Kathmandu
In Kathmandu, the pilgrims received a warm and heartfelt welcome. We arranged a special deep lighting ceremony at the Guheswari Temple, dedicated to Goddess Parvati, where prayers were offered for the well-being of the pilgrims and their loved ones. It was a beautiful moment that marked the spiritual peak of their journey. It is one of the highlights of this sacred journey from Shetfale to Kathmandu.
The group then made their way to the Pashupatinath Temple, one of the most sacred temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. This UNESCO World Heritage Site provided a deeply moving experience as the pilgrims explored the ancient ghats along the Bagmati River and soaked in the rich spiritual history that surrounds this holy place.
Returning with Blessings
After an unforgettable spiritual experience in Kathmandu, the pilgrims began their journey back to Shetfale. They returned not only with life-long memories but also with blessings from the holy places they visited. Following the same route home, they had plenty of time to reflect on their spiritual growth and the incredible journey they completed.
