About Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu

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.

Sprahlad's 7 days trip to kathmandu

Hotels booked were unaware about accommodation to be provided. They tried to allot 3 rooms instead of 2 rooms with extra bed in one.Agency should be able to accept changes in itinerary. Road from Nagarkot to Lumbini was very bad.

Hi, i had booked snowyoda through travel triangle and i must say it was a great experience. This was me and my moms trip and i must say not once safety or any discomfort was faced by us. Sumit gave me a very nice itinerary suiting my needs and further customized it as well on request. All the arrangements were well made and we faced no issue during the trip. He also made sure the drivers and his staff are also well mannered , knowledgeable and helping . Really recommend snowyoda to all who plan a trip to Nepal. Thank you to the team for ensuring we had a great trip.

Kaushal's 7 days trip to kathmandu

MD Adventure went above and beyond in making my parents' trip to Nepal an unforgettable experience. Both of them are senior citizens, and we were a bit concerned about their comfort and safety, but everything was handled so wonderfully. Miss Sabuu’s professionalism and kindness stood out from the start. She treated my parents like her own family, providing them with constant support, answering every question, and ensuring that they had everything they needed. Her warm and caring nature made the trip extra special. The drivers were extremely reliable, always arriving on time and ensuring a smooth, safe ride throughout their journey. The hotels chosen were excellent, offering a perfect mix of comfort and local charm. My parents felt truly pampered after a long day of sightseeing. The itinerary was spot-on—well-organized and thoughtful. It allowed them to explore all the key sites without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Thanks to MD Adventure, my parents enjoyed a perfectly balanced trip of culture, relaxation, and adventure. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Mohit's 6 days trip to kathmandu

Our trip to Nepal with MD Adventures was incredibly smooth, thanks to Sabuu. She was always responsive, answering questions at any time and ensuring every detail was taken care of. Her warm welcome at the airport, along with a thoughtful gift, made us feel at ease right away. Sabuu also provided a clear and well-paced itinerary, ensuring a relaxed and peaceful experience with no rush. As requested, the itinerary had plenty of time for rest and enjoyment. One note for vegetarians: options can be limited, so it's helpful to bring your own snacks or meals. I highly recommend MD Adventures, especially with Sabuu!

Yes, only people of Hindu faith can enter the temple.

 

Pashupatinath Temple, although located quite near the epicentre, has not sustained much damage in the 2015 earthquake except a few cracks. It has withstood the test of time, and all the temples are fit enough for a visit.
