Bouddha nath Stupa: the ancient stupa of Boudhnath is one of the biggest Buddhist stupa of Nepal,

situated in the northern part of Kathmandu valley, which is one of the trading routes of Nepal with Tibet

in ancient time. Tibetan merchants used to take rest and offers praying in this place during their trading

time. Later when Tibetan refugees enter Nepal in 1950s, most of them decided to stay around the same

place. Even now most of the monk in Boudhanath is from Tibet. Around the stupa you can see some

Buddhist painting school of traditional paints “Thanka”.

Pashupatinath Temple: Pashupatinath the national deity of Nepal is one of the most significant Hindu

temples of Lord Shiva in the world, located on the banks of the Bagmati River in the eastern part of

Kathmandu. The word Pashupatinath is derived from three Sanskrit words: “pashu” means organism,

“pati” means protector, and “nath” means Lord. Hence in hindu mythology Pashupatinath means

protector and Lord of all living things. The bank of Bagmati River is the cremation centre of Hindu dead
