2. Swayambhunath Stupa, commonly known as the Monkey Temple, is one of the most iconic and ancient religious sites in Nepal. Perched atop a hill in western Kathmandu, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a 360-degree view of Kathmandu Valley and is revered by both Buddhists and Hindus. Dating back over 2,500 years, the central stupa features a brilliant white dome topped with a gilded spire, upon which the all-seeing eyes of Buddha gaze out in four directions. The site is adorned with prayer flags, spinning wheels, and smaller shrines and temples, reflecting a rich blend of Vajrayana Buddhist and Hindu architectural influences. The nickname “Monkey Temple” comes from the sacred monkeys that inhabit the site, adding a lively and unique character to the spiritual atmosphere. With its deep historical roots, sacred symbolism, and elevated location, Swayambhunath offers visitors a profound cultural experience and a peaceful retreat from the city's chaos.

About Kathmandu

Kathmandu, Nepals alte, farbenfrohe Hauptstadt im Tal, voller Tempel, Stupas und Königsplätze, ist das Tor zum Himalaya.

Der Kathmandu Durbar Square, der alte königliche Platz, ist voller Pagodentempel und Paläste, und in der Nähe lebt die Kumari, die lebende Kindgöttin der Stadt. Thamel, das Viertel der Reisenden, ist ein Gewirr von Gassen mit Trekkingausrüstung, Gebetsfahnen und Kunsthandwerk, belebt von Cafés und Dachrestaurants.

Top-ranked sights in Kathmandu: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
