Visit the Pashupatinath riverside
Gaushala, Kathmandu, Nepal
Pashupatinath stands beside the Bagmati River and remains one of Nepal’s most important Hindu pilgrimage sites. Visitors who are not Hindu view the main temple from the terraces across the river, rather than entering its restricted precinct. Come with a local guide who can explain the shrines and rituals without intruding on worshippers. This is a place for quiet observation, with access and photography rules that deserve particular care.
