Today was a public holiday, the office was closed so we went to Pashupatinath with our new friend from the office Sundar. We caught a ridiculously cramped bus there and back and spent all day wandering round watching people and exploring. We ate sugar cane...
And watched Hindus queuing up for hours to worship their god Shiva at the Golden Temple....
There were people everywhere...
And burning bodies in the cremation ghats in the distance...
We shared views over the whole site with the local holy cows!
Marijuana is illegal in Nepal, but on this day each year it is legal! So people are openly selling, smoking, eating and drinking weed all day long! After our experience in Lucknow, we resisted, but we were tempted by the Ganga chocolate. Luckily the seller had sold up and gone home by the time we got to him!
