PASHUPATINATH
It is considered one of the holiest pilgrimage destinations for all Hindus in the world. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and built on the banks of the Bagmati River. It is witness to various religious activities every day. Sadhus (holy men) from many different countries especially from India, visit the temple to pay homage to Lord Shiva. There are Ghats on the banks of the Bagmati River. These are rectangular stone platforms used for the crimination of dead bodies while the square ones are for ritual baths.
BOUDDHANATH
One of the largest Buddhist Stupa in South Asia, Nepal is a religious center for Buddhist people. Surrounding the stupa there are different monasteries belonging to different Buddhist sects. Many tourists visit the Stupa for sightseeing and shopping for Tibetans handicrafts. During the full moon, Boudhanath is host to special religious activities.
