PASHUPATINATH: 5 km (approximately half an hour drive) east of Kathmandu City lies Pashupatinath temple which is the holiest temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in Nepal. Situated on the bank of the sacred Bagmati River, the temple is built in pagoda style with gilt roof and richly carved silver doors on four sides. Tourists are permitted to view the temple from the east bank of Bagmati River, entrance in the temple being strictly forbidden to all non-Hindus. Pashupatinath is the center of annual pilgrimage on the day of Shivaratri which falls in the month of February/March. There are cremation grounds on the bank of Bagmati River.

 GUHYESHWARI TEMPLE:

Guhyeshwari Temple is one of the revered holy temples in Kathmandu. This temple is dedicated to Guhyeshwari or Adi Shakti. The temple is also a Shakti Peetha and is about 1 km east of Pashupatinath temple, located on the southern bank of the Bagmati River. It is said that this temple is the Shakti chair of Pashupatinath Temple. It is an important pilgrimage destination for Hindus, especially for Tantric worshipers.

 

 DOLESHWAR MAHADEV:

According to religious beliefs, Pandava brothers, after the Mahabharata of Kurushetra, left for the Himalayas in search of forgiveness from Lord Shiva for the killing of many people during the war. But Lord Shiva was not willing to forgive them thus he disguised in the form of a bull. After knowing about Lord Shiva’s disguise, when Pandavas brothers tried to catch the bull, they could catch only the tail while the head of the bull got separated from the rest of the body. According to Hindu scriptures, the remaining body is in Kedarnath of India, while it is believed that Doleshwar is the head part. It is also mentioned in Shiva Purana and other holy books being passed from generations to generations.

Situated in the Gorkha district of Nepal, lies 1302 meters above the sea level. It is the sacred place of the Hindus which is believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Parvati. The name Manakamana originates from two words, “mana” meaning heart and “kamana” meaning wish. It is believed that Goddess Manakamana grants the wishes of all those who make the pilgrimage to her shrine to worship her.

     

POKHARA:

The rare combination of snow-clad peaks and snow fed lakes and rivers has helped to make the valley of Pokhara (210kms/131 miles from Kathmandu) one of the most picturesque natural attractions in Nepal.
