The Bagmati Province government has moved the Shiva Circuit project into its implementation phase, advancing a plan to connect sacred Shiva temples and Shaiva religious sites across the province as one religious-tourism route.
Announced in early October 2026, the initiative aims to promote religious tourism in Bagmati and encourage visitors to stay in the province for longer.
What the Shiva Circuit aims to do
The project will link places associated with Shiva worship into a single circuit. Its stated goals are to:
- Promote religious tourism across Bagmati Province
- Connect Shiva temples and other Shaiva religious sites
- Extend the length of tourists’ stays in the province
The government’s move into implementation marks the next phase of the project, which was announced as a way to strengthen Bagmati’s religious-tourism offering.
