Lukla – Kathmandu. Back to Kathmandu and visits
According to your arrival hour, you will visit Pashupatinath and Buddhanath.
The afternoon will be particularly religious thanks to the visit of Pashupatinath (Pashupati is one of the multiple names of the great Shiva god), high-place of the cremation of the deceased in Kathmandu, located on the banks of the river Bagmati. If this place is essentially characterized by its center of cremation, it also gathers many hindu temples of every sizes, shapes and colors. We also find the famous Saddhus, These men covered with ashes, living outside the world. They cut every link with their family, don’t own anything, and have no roof and feed themselves of dotations of the devotees.
The afternoon will be devoted to the visit of Buddhanath, sanctuary of Buddhism, represented by its gigantic Stuppa surrounded by Tibetan monasteries. This site is populated by many Tibetans who fled to Nepal after the Chinese invasion. It is interesting to go there at the end of the day to attend the ritual of the believers which consists of turning around the Stuppa in a clockwise direction. You will be able to immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere that comes from it and have the opportunity to visit a Tibetan monastery and the temple of Gokarna.
