I am still in Kathmandu. The capital of Nepal is like living museum – it has a lot to offer. Today I took a walk to the stupa of Swayambunah. It is a Buddhist Temple built on the hill pn the outskirts of the city. It also called The Monkey Temple because many monkey families are present there.
It took me about an hour to get from Thamel to the bottom of the hill and then another half an hour to the top… uphill by stairs
White stupa is surrounded by prayer wheels and on the top the eyes of Buddha look in to the four sides of the world. Pilgrims pray, giving offerings of flowers and fruits. It is great atmosphere around.
I have been here already twice, years ago. I cannot see any changes. Only the gold on altars is more dirty. Great place to visit! They charge from gringos only 200 rupees entry fee on the stairs!
