Pashupati̇̄nāth Holidays
I visited Pashupatinath for the same reason I went to Benares and I certainly found what I was looking for. It's a temple dedicated to Shiva on the banks of the Bagmati River and a place where you can watch some startling ceremonies.

What our travellers think of their stay
I visited Pashupatinath for the same reason I went to Benares and I certainly found what I was looking for. It's a temple dedicated to Shiva on the banks of the Bagmati River and a place where you can watch some startling ceremonies.
My suggestion
You can combine a visit here with a trip to Bodnath. Go to Bodnath by bus and return via Pashupatinath, which is a 45 minute walk across the countryside.
Located just five kilometres from Kathmandu, the little town of Pashupatinath is a highly sacred place of pilgrimage on the Bagmati River.
My suggestion
Be sure not to miss the Shivarati in February or March, an event that brings huge numbers of sâdhus together in one place.
