It is run by a Traditional local Shaman, also known as a Himalayan Bon Shaman, who offers spiritual divination healing and counseling to visitors.

    Incredible friendly, insightful experience

    What a great experience! My guide Siddartha was super friendly and explained the process to me. The ceremony was fascinating and it was a bonus to have a female Shaman. She was really insightful, generous and warm. I couldn’t believe how she was able to pick up on things that I hadn’t shared. I didn’t know what to expect but was put at ease immediately. As a solo female I felt safe at all times and loved the experience. I’d highly recommend this, what a treat.

    Sharmanism

    This is a very unique and powerful experience. Was definitely not for me. If you’re considering this be prepared .

    Response from the operator: 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.

    Shamanism Tour in Nepal - One-to-one Consultation with Sharmans: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Shamanism Tour in Nepal - One-to-one Consultation with Sharmans cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Shamanism Tour in Nepal - One-to-one Consultation with Sharmans take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is Shamanism Tour in Nepal - One-to-one Consultation with Sharmans worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 55 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Shamanism Tour in Nepal - One-to-one Consultation with Sharmans?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Shamanism Tour in Nepal - One-to-one Consultation with Sharmans suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Shamanism Tour in Nepal - One-to-one Consultation with Sharmans?

    +

    Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Shamanism Tour in Nepal - One-to-one Consultation with Sharmans start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
