## About

Begin your evening with a pickup from your hotel in the Thamel area. Receive a warm welcome from your local host and a small handmade diya (oil lamp) for the couple. Listen to a short briefing on the meaning of love in Nepali traditions.

Next, take a slow romantic walk along the sacred banks near Bagmati River. Hear stories of devotion, Shiva, and Parvati (symbol of eternal love) as you enjoy quiet moments and photo opportunities.

Continue to Pashupatinath Temple and enjoy a guided entry to the best viewing spot. Experience the powerful evening Aarti ritual and light your diya together for a symbolic moment.

After the Aarti, take a short transfer to a hidden Newari heritage courtyard (non-touristy). Enjoy a soft candlelight setup and traditional ambiance. Savor an authentic Newari cuisine tasting and choose to listen to light live traditional music or cultural storytelling about marriage rituals in Nepal.

End your evening by writing a short wish or message for each other. Place it in a “memory box” or take it home as a keepsake.
