Highlights
  • Pashupatinath Temple - To understand the people of the Kathmandu Valley as well as Nepal requires a look at the religious backgrounds of the people of Nepal. Two of the most important religious sites are the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Pashupati and Boudhanath.

The tour begins with a private car coming to the hotel in Kathmandu. The drive to Pashupati is quick and relaxing in the private car. The first stop is Pashupatinath, which is the holiest place in Nepal and one of the holiest places in all of Hinduism.

The place is located on the bank of the Bagmati River where numerous cremation ghats send the dead’s ashes onto the next world. There are many temples on both sides of the river, along with colorful Sandhu priests who serve the needs of the faithful. A private guide takes visitors on a tour to explain the significance of the temples and religious symbolism of this holy place.
