  Pashupatinath Temple

  Pashupatinath is the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage site in Nepal, and one of the 275 Holy Abodes of Shiva on the continent. It is believed to date back to 400 A.D. It is the preferred site of cremation for Hindus, as it is situated along the banks of the sacred Bagmati River; ashes swept into this river eventually reach the Holy Ganges.

  Kathmandu Durbar Square

  The Kathmandu Valley has been inhabited for thousands of years. Its rich history has resulted in the beautiful cultural, artistic and architectural fusion that is seen today. Elaborate temples, monasteries and courtyards crafted by Newar artisans during the Malla Empire from the 12th to the 17th century, are monuments of the appreciation the Malla nobility had for art and architecture, and their gradual conversion from Buddhism to Hinduism.
