A wish that was long pending Had a pandit come with us and offer darshan and puja He acted like a guide and said which one was important. Immense energy was fely from the sanctum Sanctorum. An experience to remember throughout my life

Interesting cultural experience. We saw 3 stages of cremation concurrently. 1 body was still being cremated and the 1st son of the deceased was getting his head shaved; the second cremation station was just done and the caretaker was cleaning up the site by sweeping the ashes into the river; the 3rd cremation station was just getting started. Overall, an interesting temple to visit to learn about Hinduism & Nepal’s belief in after-death. Be careful of the touts and “guides” who naturally tag along beside you and suddenly became your official guides. Do stop them if you are not keen or negotiate a price before the “guides” start their grand tour. Otherwise, it will be a usd50 affair for a short tour of 1hr or so. Having said that, the “guide” was quite informative.

Visited in December 2022. We went to this place as part of a full day sightseeing tour. We went around 5 pm and the air was too cold. Since it is a Hindu temple, we need to remove our footwear and the cold flooring didn't help our cause. Moreover the officials were cleaning the temple with cold water. We had a good darshan (view) of the deity. We stood in line multiple times for darshan as the lines were small. We were told there will a premium line if there is crowd. As expected, the premium line has a fee. The view of deity is much better after the lights are switched on. Like in any Hindu temple, the main deity is surrounded by multiple other deities that you can walk around and pray. Like Swayambunath Temple, there are a lot of monkeys around. As long as we don't open food packets or water bottles in front of them, they will not disturb us.

A must go place whilst in Kathmandu. Please explore the outside areas near the river where the dead are cremated. I walked the scene from Dr.Strange movie, made me feel like i was part of the movie. This was one of the film location. The temple compound is very clean and peaceful with excellent temple inside.

Pashupatinath Temple, One of the busiest place with Mass Gathering, is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Pashupati. It is located in Kathmandu, Nepal near the Bagmati River. It is nice place to visit when you are in Kathmandu. Its shines Nepal culture and harmony among people.

This is a very popular temple of Lord Shiva in Kathmandu, Nepal. Devotees from different countries visit this temple to get the blessings of Lord Shiva. Temple is very big and there are many small temples around the main temple.

If you are visiting Kathmandu for the first time, you must visit Pashupatinath Temple. Wonderful group of temples with a lot of mythology around it. From temple architecture point of view as well, there is a lot to explore. You can hire a guide as well to understand more.

This is a Holy temple of Lord Shiva. The temple structure is quite unique compared to other Hindu temples around the world. Only Hindus are allowed into the Temple. Others can be around the premises and go around it. No photos are allowed inside the temple premises. It's believed that one should visit this temple and get a blessing before going Hiking in Nepal. We were told to do so and we did. Our quest to reach ABC was very smooth. At the back of the Temple is the Holy River of Baghmati where prayers and rituals for the demise are carried out. You will need to pay NR1000 for each foreigner to enter. It's a very rare scene and if you can't take it, better not see it.

A very sobering place to visit. From our vantage point on the opposite side of the river we were able to watch families bring their dead relatives to be cremated on the side of the river and then their ashes were swept into the river.. Their deep respect for the dead was evident in the way the whole process was undertaken. Swimming in the river were a number of small boys who had no concern for what was floating in the river.
