We also visited the Pashupatinath Temple (still do not have a clue how to pronounce) which is a famous Hindu temple on the outskirts of the city. It sits on the Bagmati river which is a polluted little stream. This is the temple where the dead are cremated and their ashes are dumped in the water. Families travel here from far and wide to meditate, grieve and pay reverence to those they love who have passed on. There is a little foot bridge where you can watch the cremation take place. Not to be too indecent about the topic but when we were there we can only see and smell the ash burning. This was a place where I did not take photos.
