#Boudhanath (#Boudha_Stupa) With its golden spire glimmering in the sunlight, Boudhanath dominates the Kathmandu skyline and is within easy walking distance of #Pashupatinath. This is the largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal, and an important center for Tibetan Buddhism and culture, as well as being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stupa is surrounded by striking religious artwork and statues, as well as monasteries and shrines, and brightly colored flags flutter overhead. Early mornings and evenings are the best times to visit when prayers are offered and tour groups are absent, and as the sun sets, the Tibetan community comes out to circumambulate the stupa, accompanied by the gentle chanting and spinning of prayer wheels. While often very crowded and noisy, Boudhanath stupa is definitely worth visiting and will leave you with an enduring image of Nepal. Rebuilt after the 2015 earthquake, this is one of Nepal’s most unmissable attractions. Photo: travelawaits.com #Hidante #TheAddictTraveller https://www.instagram.com/p/CT_Sk-tIMbw/?utm_medium=tumblr
