Pathivara Tour Package—Spiritual Journey to Nepal's Sacred Temple

The Pathivara Tour Package by Duke Nepal Adventure takes you to the powerful temple of Goddess Pathivara, believed to fulfill devotees' wishes. Located in the Taplejung District of Eastern Nepal at 3,794 m altitude, this sacred site is one of the Shakti Peeths (power symbols) in Hindu mythology. Thousands of pilgrims from Nepal and India visit this holy site annually. Pathivara is equally revered by Buddhists, who light lamps during monthly full moon ceremonies.

Best Time to Visit

The ideal periods for visiting Pathivara are March-June and September-November, when weather conditions are stable. Beyond spiritual significance, visitors enjoy panoramic views of Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), the world's third-highest peak. This tour combines natural beauty, spiritual fulfillment, and authentic cultural experiences. The region boasts over 1,000 species of flowering plants (including rhododendrons) and 250 bird species.

Temple Visit & Hiking Details

The temple requires a 2-4 hour hike depending on your fitness level. We recommend physical preparation before the journey. Many devotees begin their ascent as early as 3 AM to worship during sunrise, considered particularly auspicious.

Environmental Protection

Pathivara implements an eco-friendly refundable deposit system to discourage littering. Your deposit is returned after worship if no environmental damage occurs. The hike features steep, irregular steps, but resting points along the trail provide relief.

Tour Highlights

  • Spiritual fulfillment at Pathivara Temple
  • Breathtaking views of Mt. Kanchenjunga
  • Rich biodiversity, including diverse flora and fauna
