Utilizing the opportunity of this yatra, we had been to local
sightseeing. On 10th June
2012 , first, we went to the local
Everest mountain service through Yeti Airlines a domestic Nepal airline.
They charged Rs 6000.00 for this one-hour trip. It was a great experience to
see Mount Everest and
other snow-covered mountains.
MOUNT EVEREST MOUNTAIN FLIGHT - VISIT
SRI PASUPATHY NATH TEMPLE
After breakfast, we
went to Sri Pasupathy Nath Shiva temple. Since in Nepal cows
are treated as gods, leather items are not allowed in the temple which includes, a belt, purse, watch strap, etc. The temple is in a huge area. The Karpa Kirugam
has 4 entrances, The moolavar has four faces that are chiseled on all four
sides. Unlike other temples, the moolavar Gopuram is constructed in wood similar
to Buddhist monasteries / Chinese temples. There is a huge Nandi in front of the
moolavar, covered with brass metal sheets. This has got the recognition of
UNESCO. There are about 1008 Shiva lingams installed, which will take at
least 15 minutes to go around them. People from India throng
this temple every day. The last rites were conducted for those who died at
the temple and burnt near the temple ghat.
