Nepal World Heritage Site Tour
World Heritage Site tour has significant importance in the promotion of ethical and rural tourism. Knowing the fact that tourism helps the people living in rural areas, we have designed this tour to include these places. People living in rural areas could share their interests and needs. The tour also has an approach with the school children in a village and some deprived people in such areas.
These children and people could be benefited by such visits. The entire tour is inspired culturally so that a tourist coming from other parts of the world could enjoy it. World Heritage Site tour is designed especially for those people who would prefer a relaxed tour full of ethnic excursions.

About Pashupatinath Temple
Pashupatinath Temple is the oldest and most Many legends are describing the famous Hindu temple in Kathmandu. It is not known for certain when Pashupatinath Temple was built. But according to Nepal Mahatmaya and Himvatkhanda, the deity here gained great fame there as Pashupati.
Pashupatinath Temple’s existence is recorded as early as 400 CE. The ornamented pagoda houses the Linga of Shiva. There are many legends describing how the temple of Aalok Pashupatinath came into existence here.
One legend says that Shiva and Parvati took the form of antelopes in the forest on the Bagmati River’s east bank. The gods later caught up with him and grabbed him by one of his horns, forcing him to resume his divine form. The broken horn was worshipped as a linga, but over time it was buried and lost.
Centuries later a herdsman found one of his cows showering the earth with milk, and after digging at the site, he discovered the divine linga of Pashupatinath.
