Maybe not.
The next temple we visited wasn’t quite as lighthearted as the Monkey Temple. It was actually a bit uncomfortable, in fact. On a local guide’s suggestion, we headed to Pashupatinath Temple. Pashupatinath is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Non-Hindus are not allowed to enter the temple, so we didn’t see much of it.

The uncomfortable part of the morning was that Pashupatinath is also the site of cremations. Grieving families gather to cremate their loved ones along the river. That’s just a weird vibe.

I didn’t feel comfortable taking photos here, but here’s a mix of Molly’s and Mike’s to share.

Molly and Mike are also great photographers, which is to your advantage. Your blog makes me feel like a lame ass all the days of my life, but I still love it!
