Nepal Shamanism Tours

Shamanism is an integral part of Nepali culture and despite the modernization of certain cultural aspects of Nepal, it is still practiced by various ethnic groups here; as a means to drive away evil spirits, cure illnesses, appease the souls of the dead, pacify ancestors, etc. The people in the distant and remote parts of Nepal, who have little or no access to doctors and medicine, still rely on these “witch-doctors” or “Jhankris” ( in the local dialect) to drive away illnesses and spirits. Using local herbs and plants, they provide the vitally needed more psychological than pathological cure. The sightseeing tours on this trip will take you to the heart of one of such Shamanistic regions to witness these ceremonies. Of course, you will also be treated to visits to prominent temples and monasteries and splendid views of the Himalayan landscape and peaks.
