AROUND THE KATHMANDU VALLEY - Pashpatinath

As suggested in my guide book, I walked from Bodhnath to Pashpatinath. This is Nepal'smost important Hindu temple; although non-hindus cannot enter the main temple.
 
Temple entrance for Hindus only

Many Nepalis choose to be cremated on the banks of this holy river. I personally found the holy Bagmati and site in general extremely polluted and monkeys have definitively taken ownership of the place ;)


In Pashpatinath even the dogs worship Shiva
