Monkeys clambered around the various shrines and idols that represent some of the 33 million Hindu gods.
The most extraordinary things we observed were the funerals of believers along the riverside. In the short time we were there there must have been a good half a dozen cremations. Felt privileged to be there.
Twenty minutes walk away, was the busy but strangely peaceful Boudha Stupa. This huge monument is as equally important to Buddhists as the Pashupatinath is to Hindus. Many pilgrimage here to offer prayers and worship.
It was a great place to sit have a drink, eat some momo and do some people watching.
Early night tonight as we're off to Pokhara early tomorrow.
