    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.

    Gloriously located at the bank of Bagmati, Pashupatinath temple is more than a temple to the people of the Hindu nations. This place holds the strong divine power, which will leave you mesmerizing the atmosphere. The aura of this place makes me believe on the presence of higher power on my every visit. You shouldn't miss the blissful evening aarati, which starts from 6 pm, everyday!

    Holy Place 🙏. One of the world Heritage Site of Nepal. Always crowded by pilgrims. Much crowded on Mondays, Shiva Ratri & on special occasions of lord Shiva and Parbati. No photos or electronic devices are allowed to use inside the main temple areas. Can take pictures outside the gate and in the surroundings. Many more places and parks around this temple area where people can relax and enjoy.

    One of the best and beautiful places to visit in Kathmandu. Near to the airport. Morning and evening we can visit. It has an amazing വview, beautiful structure and wide variety of devotional things inside. Camera is not allowed inside the temple main building, but we can use outside that which is also inside the compound. Free footwear keeping area is provided. Do not give money to local people to keep your footwear. A must visit place.

    A holy Hindu temple which is also a world Heritage Site as declared by Unesco. In the evening there is very less crowd. Capturing photos inside the temple is not allowed but you can click photos outside the entry gate. Also no need to deposit your mobile, wallet, belts etc. You can go inside easily. Inside the temple, god Shiva is in the main temple, there are 4 gates of temple one at each direction. A big Nandi idol is also there facing Lord Shiva.

    A religious site for Hindu 🕉 . Lots of temples and monuments in this area. A river named Bagmati flowing between temples 🛕 Capturing photos after entering from gate of main temple is strictly prohibited 🚫. Other than this area you can click pictures 📸 of anywhere. A small area on upper part of temple is separated for deer 🦌that can be visited free of cost. I strongly advise visitors to carry their 🍌🍎🍕foods and belongings safely because of various monkey 🐒 attacks that had been reported several times. I recommend everyone to visit this place once a life time.

    One of the holiest Hindu shrines in Nepal, the Pashupatinath Temple is stretched across both the banks of the beautiful and sacred Bagmati River on the eastern fringes of the capital city of Kathmandu. The magnificent sanctum devoted to Lord Shiva draws in thousands of devotees who come to offer their prayers and seek blessings from him.

    What a great temple! Loved it here with all the dynamics! When we purchased the tickets at the locket, there was a guide pretending to explain us about the rules and regulations. He tried to show us around but he never mentioned about his fee. When we asked him about his service, he finally said $15. We didn’t want to use any guide so we said no. It would be better if the guide didn’t pretend and just ask. Apart from that, it was a very interesting place to be. Where you can watch live cremation there.

    It is a famous and sacred hindu temple located on the banks of Bagmati river. Dedicated to lord Shiva. Cremation of Hindus take place on raised platforms along the river. There are hundreds of Shiva lingams within the compound. The big maha shivaratri festival in spring attracts hundreds of thousands of devotees from within Nepal and from India. You can visit Pashupatinath for an unmatched mix of religious, cultural and spiritual experiences.🙂🥰

    You don't go out the way you came in. When you are there for the first time, it makes great sense to take a guide. Pashupatinath needs time; time to sit and think. If you walk through the upper part of the complex, you can see a group of macaques that allow a lot of closeness.

    Pashupatinath Temple has been a favourite for every Hindu devotees and tourists. You can find dead bodies being burnt after their last rituals. This place will make you realise that life is just an illusion and the ultimate destination for us is death. However, you can explore more as this temple is huge and full of mysteries. The night view is just awesome and fascinating. Better visit with friends that know the history of the temple well as you will know more about this historical place. 🙏🙏🙏

    The Pashupati Nath Temple, which was closed due to the Corona epidemic, has been reopened to visitors. There is a long line of visitors. Masks are mandatory for visitors. Arrangements have been made to visit Lord Shiva here. Security personnel have been working hard to visit other temples in the temple premises. Health care also needs to be taken care of when going to crowds.

    This is One of the famous temples of shivji. The place is beautiful, although tiles in summers will be very hot, be careful of that while walking. Photography is not allowed inside the temple, but you can click photo till you reach the main gate. There are a lot of monkeys inside the temple so take care of your prasad and all.

    Nestled in the Kathmandu Valley, the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu is a vibrant tapestry of ancient culture and modern dynamism. As the urban heartbeat of this Himalayan nation, it is a living museum where history and tradition seamlessly blend. In Kathmandu, prayer flags flutter in the mountain breeze, and the melodies of traditional music intertwine with the city's rhythm. It's a place where spirituality meets urbanity, creating an enchanting destination that captures the essence of Nepal's past and present A huge destination for Hindu devotees Loved the traditional and old style structures

    Everyone's must visit place when in Kathmandu. It's not just a Hindu temple but also holds a part of history of Kathmandu. Busy from morning till evening, if you had to choose one, I'd say go in the evening and stay till the end of evening prayers that happens everyday on the river bank.

    Pashupatinath is more than just a religious destination. It is a combination of religion, art, and culture. It offers peace and devotion. The temple, spread across 246 hectors of land abounds in temples and monuments. Hundreds of rituals are performed here every day. The temple premises is an open museum. This national treasure was designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1979. This temple is an important destination for art historians. It displays a variety of temple design some of which are Dome style, Pagoda style, Shikhara style and so on. Additionally there are varieties of statues and sculptures around the complex. There are statues made out of stone, metal, and wood. The door and pillars around the temple area are carved in beautiful shapes of God and griffins. Pashupatinath stretches from the main temple of Pashupatinath to Guheshwori. There are many famous temples inside this area including the Bhuwaneshwori, the Dakshinamurti, Tamreshwor, Panchdewal, Bishwarupa, and others. The temple of Kali, located on the banks of River Bagmati has an interesting appearance and loaded with mythology. The myth is that the statue grows out of its original spot and that the world will come to an end when the half-in half-out figure is fully exposed. Each temple has its own set of rituals to be performed, and every temple has specific values and customs. On the other side of the river is a small forest Shleshmantak, home to animals like deer and monkeys. A traditional crematorium stands on the banks of the River Bagmati. Pashupatinath's vast area embraces cultural heritage, forest, and water resources which need to be preserved and managed. Hence the Pashupati Area Development Trust (PADT) was founded in 1996. Since then, the activities at Pashupati are governed by this administrative body. Thank you

    You can visit the temple to worship lord shiva. The opening time of main door varies time to time so get updated about opening time before buying flowers/coconut from nearby shops. After worshipping, you can get past Aryaghat and go to top of small cliff from where you can enjoy the view of majestic temple. Beware of small kids begging as they won't leave if you alone if you hand over money to one of them. It would be better to give them something to eat instead of money.

    I am not wrong if I call this the ultimate temple for the followers of Hinduism in Nepal. They believe if someone does at this temple, they will be Re-born as humans among us. It is considered as a blessing to be cremated by the side of the river (the Fires you see are creations). The remainings and ash are put into the river for blessing. The close relatives, the sons of the person who is dead shaves their heads off

    Nice place to visit here as we visited in the month of June so there was no crowd at all. There is a good mountain view up side where you can reach from the side gate and moving ahead you can see a river by going down stairs. Also There is a Dharmshala To stay there which is available in a price range of 200-500 INR and food is also available for 75 INR.

There is a place for footwear drop center by temple free of cost. Be very careful while shopping. Need to do lots of bargain and select original products.

    One of the most holy places for Lord Shiva in the world. It’s the only place where you can find the four faces of Lord Shiva in the linga - seen from four directions. They perform aarti in the evening after which we can go near and see all the four sides. There are plenty of small temples in the premises as well as surrounding it. Make sure to keep time to visit all the places and get the spiritual experience

    This is one of the most important Hindu temples in the world and the oldest in Kathmandu Valley, located in a Hinduistic Holly area next to Bagmati river, dedicated to Lord Pashupati, a deity and incarnation of Shiva. It is the national deity of Nepal. The temple was classified as a Word Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The site holds an extensive yard of temples, ashrams, images and inscriptions, raised over centuries. Along the banks of the river there are six crematorium pedestals for the people of Kathmandu to burn their dead. At the northern area of the crematorium, the sadhus - holly priests - reside. They live in the temple and they will give you a blessing, a hand reading or take a photo with you for a fee.

    The Holy place. One of the most important and biggest shiva temple here in Nepal. This place is filled with good vibes. Surrounded by many temples one can be at peace just by visiting this place. One of the main attraction here is the arati. Many people visit for religious purpose, and some visit for arati to have inner peace and some time away from busy schedule and problems of life. Definately recommended place to visit. 🕉🕉🕉OM NAMAH SHIVAYE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Had a great experience visiting this temple. And as the name suggests it is the famous 'Monkey Temple' after all!! There were so many monkeys freely roaming around the temple. The architecture was simply BEAUTIFUL! Had to stand in a queue for darshan but the idol was too beautiful and worth all the wait.

    A must-see in Kathmandu! The most important Hindu pilgrimage site in Nepal is worth visiting for many reason. The huge area, which also belongs to one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu Valley, offers a lot to see and a lot to experience. Temples, religious rites, shops and a lot of culture can be found here. Lots of locals are visiting Pashupatunath every day. You can just walk around the area to have a good feel what Nepal is about. I'd recommend you to take a local guide as there is so much to learn. Pashupatunath is most known for its cremation site along the Bagmati river. It might be strange to see a public cremation. But Hindu people have another perspective on life and death. All in all a very fascinating place!

    One of the most devoted and sacred place of Nepalese hindu. Many tourists from india as well as foreign visit this sacred place. Earlier there was no proper cleanliness but nowadays it looks clean. But still there a lot of beggars and kids selling waters which i guess should not be allowed inside the temple premises. Most of the sadhus inside this temple are just for earning money so please stay away from them. If you are visiting this beautiful religious place please try to visit on Saturday or monday to see aarati in this temple which is extremely beautiful.

    Amazing place but due to crowd there is less chance to visit the temple peacefully and all the devotees have to complete puja without entering the inside of shiva statue room. And the protection police or management police ar not coperative. They just harrased the people so be careful

    One interesting way to gain insight into Hinduism is by examining their customs related to cremation and their perspective on life. According to Hindu beliefs, there is a strong bond between humans and the environment. This reveals an intriguing facet of their culture and their understanding of the connection between people and the natural world. The Pashupatinath Temple, situated in Kathmandu and being the oldest Hindu temple, offers a divine and serene experience. When we visited early in the morning, we had the opportunity to have a peaceful and fulfilling Darshan, which left us with a sense of tranquility.

    A must visit if one is in Kathmandu. Very serene and spiritual. Pashupatinath Temple, place of worship in the Kathmandu Valley on the Baghmati River, on the eastern outskirts of the city of Kathmandu, that is the holiest site in Nepal. It is devoted to the Hindu god Shiva in his form as Pashupati, protector of animals. There has been a religious foundation here since at least the 5th century BCE, though the oldest recorded temple dates from 400 CE. The original, mainly wooden, buildings were eaten by termites and replaced by the current stone and metal structures in the 15th century CE.

    Pashupatinath is a well-known Hindu temple that can be found on the western bank of the holy river Bagmati. It is approximately 5 kilometers to the east of Kathmandu's main city. The primary reason for traveling to this world heritage site is to learn about the history and cultural traditions practiced by the local Hindu population. Many Hindus think this temple is one of the most important places to visit on a pilgrimage.

It has four main doors, all covered with silver sheets. This temple has a gold pinnacle (peak). Inside are two garbhagrihas: the inner garbhagriha or sanctum sanctorum is where the idol is placed, and the outer sanctum is an open corridor-like space.

    A holy Hindu temple which is also a world Heritage Site as declared by Unesco. In the evening there is very less crowd. Capturing photos inside the temple is not allowed but you can click photos outside the entry gate. Also no need to deposit your mobile, wallet, belts etc. You can go inside easily. Inside the temple, god Shiva is in the main temple, there are 4 gates of temple one at each direction. A big Nandi idol is also there facing Lord Shiva.

    It is believed that those who die at Pashupatinath Temple are reborn as a good person without any obstacles that could worsen their karma. Temple of God Shiva. It is forbidden to enter the temple. Only Hindus can enter. You can see Nandi, Shiva's bull, if you break the crowd a little. Since Shiva is the protector of all living creatures and animals, there are many monkeys and cows wandering around freely. Watch out for monkeys. They may even steal your bag or phone. There is a different atmosphere here. Death speaks silently. Bagmati river, a tributary of the Ganges, is right next to the temple. The area where the dead are cremated and washed according to the caste system. Don't leave this place without experiencing it. Interestingly, although the dead are cremated, there is no seriously bad smell that will disturb you. Unlike, you cannot hear any lamentations or even loud speech during these ceremonies. People bid farewell to their dead with respect. What's strange is that besides people's suffering, there are a lot of tourists talking loudly, taking photos. Life and death side by side. The videos and photos I published tell a lot. I recommend you watch it.
