dedicated to Shiva the god of Destroyer,
is the holiest Hindu pilgrimage destination
in Nepal. Although the Pashupatinath
Temple was only built in the 5th century

and wood carvings of the finest quality

Temples dedicated to several other

of Bagmati river has been raised platforms
used as cremation sites for Hindus. Only

courtyard.

Swoyambhunath: Swoyambhu literally means 'Self-Existent One.' Swoyambhunath is believed to have been established more than 2,500 years ago. Large numbers of Buddhists and Hindus alike visit Swoyambhunath. Swoyambhu is perhaps the best place to observe the religious harmony in Nepal. The stupa is atop a hill, and requires considerable walk. There is also a road that leads almost to the base of the statue. One of the oldest Buddhist stupa overlooking the entire Katmandu valley also known as the Monkey Temple.
Entrance fee: Rs. 75 (approx. US$ 1.5), approx. 5 Kms from Kathmandu City Centre.

The Golden Gate was erected by King Ranjit Malla as the entrance to the main courtyard of the Fifty-five Windowed Palace.
