SACRED PILGRIMAGE IN NEPAL

Honoring Shiva

Synopsis

In Nepal, ancestral customs are the highlights of numerous religious festivals that attract huge crowds. They take place in magnificent temples where sadhus, monks who have renounced all material ties, officiate.

We follow Shivadas who treks along dizzyingly steep trails in the Langtang mountains for a spectacular pilgrimage.

His destination is the lake of Gosaikunda, at an altitude of 4,380m, to honor the god Shiva.
