    Shivaratri, the night of Lord Shiva, is held between February/March and is one of the major festivals of Nepal. During this festival more than 100,000 of Hindu devotees from India and Southeast Asia arrive to Pashupatinath temple to pay their homage to Shiva on his birthday.
    On this holy day, worshippers take dip and bath in the holy river at early dawn and fast for the whole day and stay around fire to keep them warm as it is still winter in Nepal.
    The entrance to the temple is allowed only to Hindus.

    golden temple of patan
    by eelaine
    greeted by a simple entrance of this buddhist monastry, we never imagined the greatness of what the small courtyard of the golden temple holds.. with its golden two-tiered roof gleaming in the sun.. surrounded by very interesting images.. long chains of gold plates hanging from the top of the temple.. just amazing..

    btw, we have two versions on the story of what the long chains of gold plates is for.. one says that these were put there by the rich to act as their stairway to heaven.. the other story says that it's meant to be the stairways to invite the gods from heaven down to earth.. i'm not too sure which is the right one.. u decide and tell me.. :)

    the gateway to numerous trekking routes in nepal, pokhara is a lovely laid back town nestled amongst the himalayan mountains.. row a boat on the phewa lake and breathe in the magnificent views of the lake with the mountainous back drop..
