Swoyambhunath Stupa

Swoyambhunath Stupa also known as monkey temple is one of the most famous Buddhist Stupas on top of the hill surrounded by the small forest in Kathmandu valley. The temple offers a magnificent view of Kathmandu Valley.

It is believed that once the Kathmandu valley was a huge lake out of which grew a mystical Lotus. Manjushree, a Bodhisattwa came from China and drained out the water and the Lotus flower came to rest and stayed where the stupa exists. The stupa is topped by the painted eyes of Buddha and surrounded by prayer wheels and numerous smaller temples.

Bouddhanath Stupa

Bouddhanath Stupa is the largest stupa in Nepal and the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple outside Tibet. It is believed that the stupa was built in 5th century because there had been twelve years of drought so the king built the stupa hoping that this would help to restore the water and it did so with the help of the dew drops, for this reason, it is also called the Dew Stupa. It is built on an octagonal base inset with prayer wheels. It is also known as mini Tibet.

Pashupatinath Temple

Pashupatinath Temple is one of the holiest Hindu temple in Nepal dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is situated on the bank of the holy River Bagmati. Every year many Hindus come to visit Pashupatinath Temple.
