Many travel agent only operates day trip for 2/3 hours even the travel blogger did not mention it. Pashupatinath the center of Hindus devotees from all over the world and temple has religious importance for Nepalese as well. In front of the temple, you can see the cremation going on.
But the evening aarti takes place and can see lots of people enjoying the religious songs, stories have added more beauty while you are sitting even though you did not understand the story. Even the water is polluted do not worry about it, seeing the local chaos brings more silent in you. Grab a seat and you do not want to put your legs into action.
sitting opposite site of the Pashupatinath temple, grabbing a closing view of local activities for the day, air that touches gently to your body while you are sitting, taking some shots from the camera, see the local visitors chanting with each other. I hope it brings you a nice feeling and relaxes though.
The best part of being here is sitting at the opposite side of the temple and keep the mouth shut, feeling the silent evening talk by Pashupati Temple. spontaneous feeling and tranquilize your thought while sitting at the bench of the temple

Biking in Prithivi and Mahendra Highway
September 16, 2017
The biking route to the Terai by the Prithvi route to Mugling and so south from there to Narayangadh, that is barely a brief hop from Chitwan National Park. It will get significant traffic, however, is usually downhill and you'll pedal it in an exceedingly day.
An additional strenuous route follows the winding, scenic Siddhartha highway southward to Butwal, via Tansen. This ride needs some long stints within the saddle and several other long stops. It’s a quick downhill ride from Tansen to Butwal, and from there it’s a flat and straightforward some of hours to the Buddha’s birthplace, Lumbini. A good additional adventure choice would be to go west of Pokhara to Baglung, and from there follow the switchbacking Tamghas route south – either iteration spherical south eastwards via Ridi Bazaar to Tansen (it’s 80km from Tamghas to Tansen via Ridi), or continued south and west from Tamghas via Sandhikarka, on 90km of rough roads, connexion the Mahendra route at Gorusinge, 48 km west of Butwal (and some 10km north of the Buddhist site of Kapilvastu). West of Butwal, the Mahendra route leads through a fine looking dun depression towards the comparatively undeveloped so much west, the traffic lightening as you go.

Swayambhunath Temple
June 15, 2017
The Swayambhunath Temple is full of monkeys may be that is the reason it is called a monkey temple (not sure). The oldest temple in Nepal and history takes us back to 2000 years. The Temple is home for devotees from both Hindus and Buddhists. The temple is influenced by the Vajrayana Buddhism.
Swayambhunath Stupa:
1. The base of the stupa represents the world
2. Eyes represents wisdom and compassion; awakes from the bonds of the world and above these two eyes third eyes (wisdom eyes) symbolizes cosmic rays emanate which acts as messages to heavenly beings
Between two eyes, curly symbolize the nose and mark as Nepali number 1, unity of all things existing in the world 3. The 13 pinnacles symbolize stages of spiritual realization to reach enlightenment
4. Carvings of the Panch Buddhas (metaphorical sense in Tantrayana) on each four sides of the Stupa:
Vairochana: The center and is the master of the temple
Akshobhya: faces the east and represents the cosmic element of consciousness
Ratna Sambhava: faces south and symbolize the cosmic element of sensation
Amitabha: faces west and represents the cosmic element of
Sanjna Amoghsiddhi: faces the north represents the cosmic element of confirmation
