One Day Muslim Tour Overview
One Day Muslim Tour In Nepal is a unique package designed for Muslim and non-Muslim travelers who are interested in experiencing and learning about the history, culture, traditions, social values, and lifestyle of Nepali Muslims.
Islam is the third-largest religion in Nepal, and 4.4% of the total population follows Islam. The people who follow Islam in Nepal are known as Nepali Musalman or Nepalese Muslims. Nepal is known as the country with the Majority of Hindus, and until 2008, it was the only Hindu kingdom in the world. Now Nepal has become a secular nation, but even when it was a Hindu kingdom, Nepal was known for its religious tolerance.
This Muslim Tour in Kathmandu comprises two of the biggest mosques in Kathmandu, i.e. Jame Mosque and the Kashmiri Mosque. It showcases the astounding lifestyle of the Nepalese Muslim community in one of their oldest settlement areas, i.e., you will also get a wonderful opportunity to interact with the local Muslim community.
Similarly, this package includes a visit to Indrachowk, an ancient trade market where we will get to see how dedicated the Muslim community is to preserving the skill that their ancestors handed to them, which they showcase in the form of an occupation. In addition, we prepare the itinerary as per the traveler’s praying schedule.
