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.

Trip to Nepal
trip was good. the trip was good.all the arrangements were fine. but I think the chitwan hotel Royal Safari was way too expensive. I could have better options at their in that price also they charged too much for cultural program.Trip to Nepal
Trip arrangement has been made well. I am glad to have chosen travel triangle.Keep up the good service! Visit to Pagoda, Gupteshwar cave,Mountain museum and Phewa lake were the most memorable moments of my trip.Trip to Nepal
Travel agent charged us extra for the place which he included in itinerary and we couldn't even go to the places which he included. As a travel agent he should know better time and places before including them in itinerary. And few places are not even worth going. He should not include such places. We as customers don't know that's why we contact travel agents and if they also don't give proper planning and information then it's not fair. Best memory is patan darbar square and Everest flight which we did on our selves and was not included in itinerary.Trip to Nepal
It was a very pleasant and satisfying holiday. From quote to planning to fares to insurance to payment, the trip itself and till the end of it, was all very smooth. The moment we chose the vendor, 'SnowYoda Expeditions'(through travel triangle), I think things started to get very very easy. SnowYoda, especially Sumit displayed fantastic professionalism and made sure we got a very good deal. He was around for every question and concern we posted, including the air ticket booking which we got cheaper than the market despite a huge demand (due to Jet Airways cancellations). And to make things simpler during the trip on a couple of uncontrollable situations due to festivities and transit delay, he made sure to talk to the hotel staff and even extended their dinner time just for our situation. I would highly rate Snowyoda+Staff/driver and would recommend them to any travelers looking forward to Nepal through Travel Triangle. SnowYoda is your choice when planning a trip to the Snow capped region ;-) And TT advisor Shreya for coordinating payments and other formalities well, thank you. Nagarkot, Sarangkot and Manakamana Temple is a must if one visits Nepal.Trip to Nepal
Trip was OK all through. However, on last day, there was confusion about places to go. Inspite of fact that we had asked the agents for all known and important places, we were not taken to Swayambhunath temple and Darbar square mentioning that it was not covered in the itinerary.Trip to Nepal
The tour was managed wonderfully. We could complete all sightseeing ontime and guided well as it was my first tour to nepal. Driver madhav has taken care each detail and made us comfortable every time. The complete trip is memorable to us .Trip to Nepal
The travel agent from Nepal Patenga was professional and provided the promised services on time. Happy with the quote comparing method of Travel Triangle.Trip to Tamil Nadu
We went on 5day/4night trip to Nepal. The trips were well arranged - hotels, cab driver, etc. Can't make any complaints.Trip to Nepal
Kathmandu drivers kept on changing and car was small and last day it was so hot and a/c was not workingTrip to Nepal
Thank you ashirvad travels for putting up so much effort to make my nepal trip memorable . It was my first trip with my fiance outside india and we had a great time in nepal . I had a tough time while returning when our car broke down but u guys did a awesome job arranging a alternate vehicle in a very small time . The driver deepak was very nice and guided us throughout the trip . Special thanks to SUMIT MISHRA to take care of all our need before , and throughout the journey ,you are a big asset to the company ,keep up the good work bro . Breakfast in the hotels was a bit disappointing but rest was excellent. Once again thank you ashirvaad travels and the team .
