Pashupatinath Temple
The Pashupatinath Temple, one of Nepal's greatest Hindu sanctuaries, stretches across both banks of the picturesque and sacred Bagmati River on the eastern outskirts of Kathmandu. Thousands of devotees flock to the majestic sanctuary dedicated to Lord Shiva to offer prayers and seek blessings from him. The temple is definitely one of the most beautiful historical sites in Nepal that is worth visiting.
It is thought that the Jyotirlinga housed in the Pashupatinath temple is the head of the body made up of the twelve Jyotirlinga in India, which is strewn across a huge area with temples and ashrams. The majestic temple was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
