For most avid travelers the landlocked country of Nepal brings back images of the devastation that happened 25th April 2015. A day when Nepal woke up to face its worst nightmare. A massive earthquake wreaked havoc and destroyed the very infrastructure that Nepal depends upon for its tourism industry. An event, that scarred every one’s memory for years to come…Four years since the tragedy, Nepal has not been sitting idle when it comes to recovering, especially its tourism sector. Anyone visiting Nepal during their Nepal Tour, expecting a devastating sight after the 2015 earthquake will be up for a surprise! As per the Nepal Tourism Board, Nepal witnessed an astounding growth of 73.5% in International Arrivals in 2018. And it continues to grow …
The Miracle of Pashupatinath
It is rightly stated that if God brings you to it, He will bring you through it…. Established during the 5th century, Pashupatinath Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in Nepal, remains intact after the perilous earthquake. The temple stood strong while most of the newer buildings around the Temple Complex crumbled. The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979 and is a big draw for tourists!
Pashupatinath in Nepal draws a great comparison with Kedarnath of Uttarakhand, another abode of the almighty Hindu Lord Shiva. In 2013 a massive flash flood failed to lay hands on this holy temple, making people believe in the power of the almighty all over again. Both the shrines have survived the test of nature and fragile human beliefs time after time.
