Bhaktapur & Changu Narayan Temple
Bhaktapur lies only a short distance from the capital, but it could be another planet, so great is the difference in the atmosphere and sense of history.
Bodnath stupa & Pashupatinath
Bodnath stupa & Pashupatinath, Nepal
Drive a short distance from Kathmandu to Bodnath where you will see one of the largest stupas in Nepal. A small Tibetan settlement has developed around this important religious sight. Many Tibetan Buddhist festivals take place here, and you can visit the Tibetan monastery close by.
From Bodnath you can drive or walk (one hour) to Pashupatinath, a deeply religious pilgrimage centre for Hindus. This is where important Hindu figures from all over Nepal are cremated publicly. Although a fascinating scene, these should be viewed from a discreet distance.
