Pilgrim Stories

We publish only words pilgrims have given us permission to share, under their own names. This page grows after every departure.

When Nepal sent sacred shilas from the Kali Gandaki to Ayodhya in 2023, Dr. Kul Raj Chalise served as cultural advisor to the Government of Nepal for the yatra and was among the scholars who authenticated them. The scholarship pilgrims travel with is the same scholarship a nation trusted.

Ten years of guided journeys in Nepal, beginning as Chalise Tourism in 2016. Hundreds of days on the corridor, in every season, with pilgrims of every age.
