On arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport at Kathmandu. You'll have to traverse Pashupatinath Temple, Nepal before reaching hotel.

The temple is situated 5 km east of Kathmandu, with its astonishing architectural beauty, stands as a symbol of faith, religion, culture and tradition is one of the most significant Hindu temples of Lord Shiva in the world, located on the banks of the Bagmati River.Although only Hindus are allowed inside the temple, visitors can clearly see the temple and the activities performed in the temple premises from the eastern bank of the Bagmati River.

The Bagmati River, which runs next to Pashaputinath Temple, has highly sacred properties. Thus the banks are lined with many ghats (bathing spots) for use by pilgrims. Renovating or furnishing these sites has always been regarded as meritorious.

Arya Ghat, dating from the early 1900s, is of special importance because it is the only place where lustral water for Pashupatinath Temple can be obtained and it is where members of the royal family are cremated. The main cremation site is Bhasmeshvar Ghat, which is the most-used cremation site in the Kathmandu Valley. The preferred bathing spot for women is the Gauri Ghat, to the north.

Across the Bagmati River are 15 votive shrines, the Pandra Shivalaya, which were built to enshrine lingas in memory of deceased persons between 1859 and 1869.
