Know before you go

Swaymbunath Stupa is an ancient religious structure atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley. The stupa is also known as the Monkey Temple. This is one of the best places to catch panoramic views of the city. A large number of Buddhists and Hindus alike visit Swayambhunath throughout the day. Swayambhu is perhaps the best place to observe religious harmony in Nepal.
Boudhanath Stupa is one of the largest stupas in the world, located 11 km from the centre on the northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu. According to legend, Boudhanath Stupa was built during the 5th century AD. Boudhanath Stupa looks like a giant mandala, or diagram of the Buddhist cosmos. During the festival of Losar (Tibetan New Year) in February or March, Boudhanath hosts the largest celebration in Nepal.
