Comprehensive Trek Guide

Swargadwari is the famous pilgrimage shrine located in the southern part of Pyuthan district, which is at an altitude of 2100m/6,890ft above sea level. Swargadwari is the Sanskrit word that translates to Gateway to Heaven, as ‘Swarga’ means ‘Heaven’ and ‘Dwari’ mean ‘Gateway’. People have a firm belief that this temple leads them to heaven afterlife. Swargadwari is considered to provide ‘Moksha’, which means nirvana after death.

So, once in lif, Hindu devotees visit this temple for worship. Swargadwari is counted as Nepal’s top pilgrimage site and is also listed in a national inventory of cultural and historical heritage sites. The revered temple of the Swargadwari pilgrimage site was founded by Guru Maharaj Narayan Khatri (Swami Hamsananda).

Most of the Nepalese and Indian Hindus come here for religious purposes, making it one of the popular Hindu pilgrimages. Legend has it that in the Hindu epic Mahabharat, this place was Taposthal, where Tapasya (meditation) was performed by the Panch Pandavas during their journey in the Himalayas en route to Heaven. It is also believed to be the very place from where Yudhistir (the eldest son of Pandavas) entered Heaven (Swarga) with his dog.

To reach Swargadwari, we cross through the Dang district, which is one of the dangerous routes. The major attraction of this place is the cows, for there are more than 500 cows. Recently, in Swargadwari, cable cars were constructed to help pilgrims get to the temple easily.

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact—thank you!
