About Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu

Pashupatinath Temple, located on the banks of Bagmati River, is one of the most important shrines of Shiva – not only in Nepal but in the entire world. This is the abode of Nepal’s national deity, Pashupatinath manifestation of Lord Shiva, where he is the father of all living beings in the cosmos. This is not a single monument but a sprawling collection of temples, shrines, ashrams and occasional rock inscriptions – all packed together into one complex. The main temple which houses Lord Pashupatinath Mandir in Nepal has a pagoda style gilded roof, sides covered in silver and the rest of it made of well-carved wood. The sacred Shiva lingam resides inside, guarded by his faithful servant Nandi Bull. Shiva’s consort Goddess Sati has her own temple called Guheshwori. This is one of those temple precincts where cremations happen inside the premises. By the holy River Bagmati, Hindu people perform the final rituals for their deceased. Pashupatinath Temple is one of the 7 UNESCO World Heritage sites of Kathmandu Valley. It is said that the 12 Jyotirlingas of India make up the body of Lord Shiva, while Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal is the head. One cannot help but feel mesmerised by an expanse of the temple complex and the spiritual atmosphere that hovers over the place.

History and Legend:

Like every Hindu temple, Pashupatinath Nepal too has its own share of history and legends. Recorded history says that the temple as it stands today was constructed by Lichhavi King Shupushpa in the 5th century after the old temple was ruined by termites. Over the years, multiple new shrines were added, including a Vishnu and Rama temple. But the actual origin is lost in myths and legends. Some believe the Shiva lingam of Pashupatinath Kathmandu was self-manifested. Other believe that Lord Shiva himself descended upon the valley in the form of an animal and he liked this place so much that he blessed it with his ‘Lord of all animals’ form.

    Sunil's 8 days trip to kathmandu

    Firstly, I would like to thank Mr. Sumit for organizing this wonderful trip to Nepal. We both Husband and wife travelled to Nepal from 18th Feb to 25th Feb 2024 and Mr. Sumit, With his meticulous planning, made this trip a truly memorable experience for us. When I discussed with him, he was quick
    in understanding our travel requirements and swiftly arranged for them, customized my itinerary based on my preference, which covered all the major locations, sightseeing places and activities at Nagarkot, Chitwan, Pokhara and Kathamandu and made the best use of our time. He was quick in arranging our last minute Mountain chopper ride. The hotels were excellent and family friendly. Hotel selection was awesome. The driver Mr. Rabi Thapa was with us throughout our journey, to make sure that we have a safe and enjoyable trip. He is a true professional, very courteous, punctual and respectful. He has a thorough knowledge of the surrounding places and acted as our local guide too. Our overall trip was fulfilling and enriching... Thank you Mr. Sumit and Mr. Rabi for this experience. I would highly rate Snowyoda and would recommend them to any travelers looking forward to Nepal tours. They seem very Professional and experienced in making a stress free tour to their clients. Regards, Sunil Gawane, MUMBAI-INDIA

    Trip to kathmandu

    Let me preface this by saying that I never wrote a review for any tourist operator so far even though I have been holidaying regularly for past 9 years. What made me write this review is the work of Sumit@Snowyoda (https://www.snowyoda.com/) whom I discovered through TravelTriangle. I had a grea
    t holiday at Nepal mainly thanks to Sumit/Snowyoda! Sumit came in touch with me shortly after I logged a request on Travel Triangle and showed great responsiveness for my requirements. While I had made an initial plan Sumit significantly improved it through thoughtful suggestions and redesigned my itienary. This trip was special to me as it was my 25th marriage anniversary. I made a special request to Sumit to see if a cake and bouquet can be arranged as part of the Everest base camp tour. They didn't have electricity at the hotel at Everest base camp but Sumit had gone over and beyond his duty and had worked with the Helicopter tour company to have my stuff airlifted from Kathmandu itself! He met me in person to wish me on my anniversary and I found him to be a bundle of passion and energy for his work ! I wish Sumit and his team all the best for their future aspirations. Thank you TravelTriangle for immediately surfacing me the right lead/right service provider as soon as I logged a request.
