Pashupatinath Temple
Pay a visit to the oldest temple in Kathmandu, and one of the most sacred Hindu shrines. Dedicated to Pashupati, an incarnation of Shiva and patron of animals, the numerous temples and shrines of the complex straddle both sides of the Bagmati River. While the main temple and courtyard can only be accessed by Hindu devotees, visitors can explore the rest of the grounds. On a tour of the famous temple, you might encounter meditating sadhus, deer, and monkeys, or even witness a funeral pyre, as the temple attracts the elderly who come here to die and be cremated in the sacred river. To visit Pashupatinath Temple on your trip to Kathmandu, use our Kathmandu trip builder website.

Pashupatinath is a must visit place for Hindus. The spiritual energy and cultural significance is great. It will be a transformative and unforgettable experience.

This is a beautiful temple and we are blessed to be able to witness and so freely stroll it. Recommend that people do not take advantage of this privilege, however. It's rare to have such a place of worship open to tourists. Please read about the appropriate behaviour before you go in. Dress respectfully and be sure to remove your shoes when you step on the scared ground.

Huge temple! I am not religious but it was still worth a visit. Pretty decent valley views. Be respectful and don’t take pictures inside. Just enjoy people watching and general vibe of the place. TIP: There’s a spot on the left near the entrance to securely leave your shoes.

This is very famous temple of Lord Shiva in Kathmandu. Devotees from different countries visit this temple to get blessings of Lord Shiva. Temple is very big and there are many small temples around the main temple. Vibes of this place are very positive. Everyone visiting Nepal should must visit this temple.!!
