Shamanism Tour in Nepal

12 Days

The shamanism tour is all about visiting to the shamans, the religious practitioners, who said to contact with the supernatural world. The shamans in many parts of Nepal play important role in treating to them who are sick. Many Nepalese do believe to shamans therefore do visit to them, when they are sick before visiting to any health care centers. 

Shamans in Nepal are known as Dhami Jhakri, who claims to find the lost souls of the sick by travelling between three worlds connected by an upside down tree called Kalpa, Vriksha, and the ´tree of immortality´. Similarly, they also say that they commune with the deities and spirits both benign and malignant inhabiting each world. Shamans do not only cure sick people but also perform a lot of religious ceremonies such as spirit possession, soul flight, ventriloquism, movement of objects. You can observe the animistic ceremony performed at any part of Nepal, from a modern property in suburban Kathmandu to high mountain pass. 

 You will enjoy observing the shamans performance. Shamans put the beats double side of shoulder and iron bells around the neck, and headdress of peacock feathers. Their body begins shaking as they mumble mantra, the iron bells around the shamans ring as they jump; the headdress of peacock feather waves widely, as they fling their arms over the patient. The shamanism tour is really amazing and worth entertaining. Shamanism tour in Nepal is one of the most popular and frequently organized trips by Thin Air Adventure Team.
