Shaman consultation and healing are unique because Himalayan Bon Shamanism is the world's oldest practice. Shamanism is integral to Nepal's rich culture and lifestyle, and this trip provides you a chance to experience it. Shamans are considered the earliest psychologists and psychotherapists. Here are some reasons why this trip is exceptional and essential during your visit to Nepal. In Shaman tradition, women do not visit the Shaman or temple during the first 4 days of their period.
• Visit a Shaman temple and meet a Shaman for a one-on-one consultation.
• Experience Himalayan Shamanism's healing techniques.
• Discover information about your health (past, present, and future).
• Remove negative spirits from your body.
• Experience one of the best natural psychological healing methods.

Pass by
The Shaman temple and healing center is located within walking distance of Thamel. It is run by a Traditional local Shaman, also known as a Himalayan Bon Shaman, who offers spiritual divination healing and counseling to visitors.
The temple serves both as a place for training and as a treatment center. We recommend first observing how the Shaman consults and heals local visitors, as this can help you prepare yourself mentally and spiritually.

This is a very unique and powerful experience. Was definitely not for me. If you’re considering this be prepared .
Operator response
Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your honest experience with us. We are glad you gave this unique cultural experience a try, and we completely understand that Shamanic practices can feel very different and powerful.
Before the consultation, we introduced you to the history, philosophy, culture and practices of Shamanism. We also invited you to observe a session with a local visitor so you could get a better understanding of the experience before deciding whether to take part yourself. After observing the session, you decided it was not for you, and we fully respected your choice.
We appreciate your openness and your advice to future visitors to be prepared for a very different kind of cultural experience. We believe your feedback will be valuable information for others who are considering this unique experience.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us.

Absolutely amazing!
What a truly exceptional and memorable experience this was. Siddartha was so wonderful and taught us so much about shamanism. We left this experience feeling like we have gained so much that will stick with us for life! Thank you Siddartha :)

One of a kind experience
I booked this tour out of curiosity and to also understand Nepalis belief in Shamanism. My guide Sidhartha explained to me so many things before seeing the Shaman which was very insightful and gave me a clearer understanding on what to expect. I do believe that this experience for those who are open minded enough and respect Shamanic ways. It was a very unique experience and I'm glad I booked this.

THE trip of a Lifetime with Hike Free Nepal!
I toured with HikeFree Nepal out of Kathmandu. It was a grand adventure. Our guide, Ganesh Kanal was brilliant. Very attentive. Extremely resourceful and informed. It was a joyous time. He took us to beautiful tea houses - great meals. Seeing the Himalayan mountains up close a thrill of a lifetime. I’d do it again!

Excellent visit to Shaman
My guide was awesome and was also the translator. Although on my own I felt safe and looked after. The shaman was amazing and had some excellent insights. I came away feeling good. I would definitely recommend this tour. Namaste 🙏 Diana

If you are interested in alternative healing you must do!
I have always been interested in alternative medicine and healers since I was a little girl. Krishna was an excellent guide. He explained what the Shaman would do and what it was. I was able to have my own consultation and he explained everything to me and what the Shaman said and explained the ceremony. During the ceremony I could feel the vibrations and energy moving up and throughout my body. I was definitely a lot more relaxed afterwards. I was also able to witness locals visit with Shaman as well and their ceremonies. Each ceremony was different. Krishna was very thorough, friendly, and welcoming! He even took photos and video of the ceremony for me. I couldn’t ask for a better guide.

A truly spiritual experience.
Everything was explained clearly before seeing the Shaman. The history behind all forms of Shamanism and the difference between traditional Tibetan style.
I was very relaxed and open minded.
The Shaman was Nisha and I felt really at ease.
I would recommend doing this if you are open in your heart and mind.
