Located on the eastern outskirts of Kathmandu on both banks of holy Bagmati River, Pashupatinath Temple is one the most sacred temple of Hindus in Nepal. The temple is devoted to Lord Shiva and every year thousands of pilgrims visit this temple to worship.

Many elderly people visit here to spend the last few weeks of their lives. Later, to get cremated on the banks of the sacred river Bagmati river, which meets with another holy river Ganga. In fact, people here believe that if they die in Pashupatinath Temple, they will reborn as a human regardless of their sins. Moreover, the astrologers of the temple predict the exact death day.

Swayambhunath is an ancient religious architecture atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city. The Tibetan name for the site means 'Sublime Trees', for the many varieties of trees found on the hill.
