Places to visit on your Tour
Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Pashupatinath Temple stands as one of the most revered Hindu pilgrimage destinations in the world. Nestled on the serene banks of the Bagmati River, this UNESCO World Heritage Site traces its origins to the 5th century, with its present structure dating back to the 15th century. The temple showcases a stunning blend of Nepalese pagoda and Shikhara architectural styles, adorned with a gold-plated copper roof and intricately crafted silver doors. Regarded as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, Pashupatinath is believed to be a sacred place where devotees can break free from the cycle of birth and death, attaining spiritual liberation.
Each year, the temple draws thousands of pilgrims, particularly during the grand festival of Maha Shivaratri, making it a vibrant hub of devotion and cultural heritage. As a symbol of Kathmandu’s deep-rooted spirituality and traditions, Pashupatinath Temple offers visitors an unforgettable journey into the heart of Nepal’s sacred legacy.
