Jam-packed devotees around Krishna Temple during Krishna Janmastami
“Whenever and wherever there is a decline in virtue/religious practice and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that time I descend myself, i.e. I manifest myself as an embodied being.” Lord Krishna Bhagvad Gita
Eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Krishna was born to Devaki and Vasudeva more than 3000 years before Christ on the eighth day of dark fortnight on the month of Bhadrapada (August-September). Birth day of Krishna is observed auspiciously by Hindus as Krishna Janmastami with traditional jollity and spiritual fervor.
History meets religion- Patan Durbar Square during Krishna Janmastami
The birth of Krishna had primary purpose of killing all the evil powers of Satya Yuga before the world entered Kali Yuga as per the myth.
More than eighty percent of Nepalese Hindus celebrated Krishna Janmastami on August 28, 2013. The devotees observed the holy birthday of Lord Krishna by fasting until midnight. The sacred hymns from the Hindus holy book Bhagvad Gita were chanted. The soothing tunes of bhajans and holy songs were heard in the neighboring areas of Krishna Temples decorated with lights and flowers. The Krishna Mandir in Patan Durbar Square, Narayanhiti Krishna Mandir, and other temples of Lord Krishna are central hubs every year where numerous devotees throng to show the respect towards divine power in this particular day. Myriads of devotees flocked to the prehistoric Krishna temple in old Patan Durbar Square to keep vigil through the venerated night of his birth. Devotees edged their way slowly up the narrow steps through the seated devotees to the temple’s dark interior, to where the main idol stands. There they offered flowers, coins and food, and waited long for a glimpse of the Krishna’s idol.

Apr 2023 I had an incredible experience trekking to Everest Base Camp with Explore Himalaya. Our guides were absolutely amazing. They provided us with exceptional support and guidance throughout the journey. The porters deserve special recognition too for their hard work and dedication. The entire journey was filled with breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences. From the start until the conclusion , every moment was filled with awe and wonder. I highly recommend Explore Himalaya for anyone seeking an unforgettable trekking experience in the Himalayas. Thank you to all the the staff, for making our journey truly exceptional!
13 Day Manaslu Circuit Trek Nov 2018 We have just returned to Kathmandu after a wonderful trek around the Manaslu circuit, starting in Soti Khola and finishing in Jaget. The trek and transport out and back to Kathmandu were very well organized. Our guide, Bharet Rana was excellent, arranging our tea-house accomodation and meals each day, without hitch. He was always good humoured and provided an interesting commentary on sights along the way.
Our Everest Base Camp trek was a wonderful and memorable one. Everything was very well organised. Thank you Explore Himalaya and the staffs for such an excellent service. We were taken care of from the moment we landed in Ktm till the day we left. The Guides and the Porters team of Explore Himalaya are very friendly and helpful. They took care of every little things during our trek. Some walked faster, some slowly and few could not but No one was left behind. They walk with your pace and motivates you until you get up. Anuj Pandey, MD of Explore Himalaya was available 24 hours a day when anybody was in need, he even flew to Namche to check if everything was going well and if everybody was doing good. The Guides Bibek Pandey, Bhuwan Tamang and Ram Rajbhandari along with their 5 Porters were the main pillars who made our mission accomplished. I'd highly recommend anybody who wants to travel to Nepal to contact Explore Himalaya and get themselves spoilt and entertained with their excellent service.
