Pashupatinath is the most significant Hindu shrine in the world, and the temple itself is the biggest Hindu temple of Lord Shiva, located on the banks of the Bagmati River. Almost every Hindu pilgrim wants to bow their head in front of the Pashupatinath temple at least once in their lifetime. The main attractions around the Pashupatinath are the cremation sites, nearby jungle, river, and surroundings.

The temple was built in the Malla regime in Kathmandu when the goddess Kali appeared in the dream of the King, and he ordered the construction of the temple. Every Saturday and during the Dashain festival, many Hindu pilgrims from all over visit the temple with great belief.

Animals like male goats and cockerels are sacrificed in large numbers in the name of goddesses.
