Stupa Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal

What to expect

Boudhanath, located in Kathmandu, Nepal, is a significant spiritual site and home to one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world. The stupa, also known as Boudha Stupa or Khasti Chaitya, is believed to enshrine the sacred relics of Kassapa Buddha and is considered a major pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists and local Nepalis. The area surrounding the stupa is filled with over 50 gompas, or Buddhist monasteries, and is a popular destination for tourists and pilgrims. The stupa's iconic Eyes of Buddha gaze out in the four cardinal directions, conveying a profound sense of wisdom and compassion. Visitors can explore the narrow alleys and lanes around the stupa, which are packed with small shops and cafes, and experience the rich cultural heritage of the area
