A trip to Boudhanath Stupa

Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu is located on the ancient trade route from Tibet through Nepal.
Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayers here for many centuries and many Tibetan refugees now call the area home. The UNESCO world heritage listed stupa is said to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha.

It is a colourful place to visit, with the stupa adorned with bright prayer flags, which sway in the wind.

The walls around the stupa contain numerous prayer wheels and the area is lined with Nepali and Tibetan traders, as well as cafes and restaurants.
