Highlights
  • Boudhanath Stupa - One of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world, Boudhanath is a major pilgrimage point near Kathmandu. Every day, Buddhists fill the square to light incense, turn prayer wheels, and perform kora—clockwise circumambulations—around the monument. Rebuilt after the 2015 earthquake, the stupa is one of Nepal’s most unmissable attractions.
  • Pashupatinath Temple - Pashupatinath is the holiest Hindu pilgrimage destination in Nepal. There are images of Shiva along with statues, shrines and temples dedicated to other deities in the complex. A temple dedicated to Shiva existed at this site in 879 AD. However, King Bhupendra Malla built the present temple in 1697. A gold-plated roof, Silver doors, and woodcarvings of the finest quality decorate the pagoda construction. Guheswori Temple, restored in 1653 AD, represents the female “force”. It is dedicated to Satidevi, Shiva’s the first wife, who gave up her life in the flames of her father’s fire ritual. Some other places to visit are Rajrajeswori Temple, built in 1407, Kailas with lingas more than 1400 years old, Gorakhanath temple and the courtyard of Biswarup. There are rows of Shiva shrines and Hindu pilgrims from all over South Asia offer worship to Shiva, the Lord of Destruction.
