Pashupatinath and Boudhanath

It was time to explore some more in the Kathmandu valley! We took a taxi to Pashupatinath, the holy Hindu temple and burial ground on the Bagmati riverbanks. How bizarre for me to watch the people burning their dead relatives in the cremation ghats next to the river. Together with the appearance of some holy men this place is so impressive!

From Pashupatinath we walked to Boudhanath. This place is home to Asia's largest Buddhist stupa that is surrounded by many Tibetan Buddhist monasteries.
