Swayambhunath Temple, Khatmandu, Nepal Swayambhunath temple is an ancient, religious architecture located at the top of the hill of Kathmandu valley. It is also known as Monkey Temple. It is one of ten UNESCO world heritage sites of Nepal. According to mythology, the entire valley was filled with water and a lotus grew in the middle of the lake. The complex consists of a stupa, a variety of shrines and temples, some dating back to the Licchavi period. A Tibetan monastery, museum and library are more recent additions. The stupa has Buddha's eyes and eyebrows painted on. Between them, the number one (in Nepal script) is painted in the fashion of a nose. There are also shops, restaurants and hostels. The site has two access points: a long staircase leading directly to the main platform of the temple, which is from the top of the hill to the east; and a car road around the hill from the south leading to the south-west entrance. The first sight on reaching the top of the stairway is the Vajra.

One of the best or THE BEST place to visit in Kathmandu. The place is full of monkeys but don't you worry, they are all very peaceful and there's even a small place in the premises dedicated to peace where you can witness monkeys sleeping peacefully with their FAMILY (yes, family) 😍 Apart from monkeys, the place has very scenic beauty from its top 🤩. You can witness the whole KATHMANDU city from here. The view will be imprinted in your mind. This places also has few shops where you buy souvenirs for your friends and families.

It's amazing for hiking and reach up to the blessing of God with peace of mind. The all day music will fill you with peach and kindness. Monkeys are used to so be careful with them . It's a big area starts and ends in opposite side. If you are visiting Kathmandu make some time on the morning to get some blessing and peace ......

Shanti Stupa in Pokhara was built by Nipponzan-Myōhōji monk Morioka Sonin with local supporters under the guidance of Nichidatsu Fujii, a Buddhist monk and the founder of Nipponzan-Myōhōji. Shanti is a Sanskrit word meaning peace, also widely used in the Nepali and Hindi languages, and Shanti Stupa means Peace Pagoda. Shanti Stupa shrine was built as a symbol of peace. Situated at the height of 1100 meters on the Anadu Hill, Nichidatsu Fujii laid the foundation stone along with relics of the Buddha on 12 September 1973.[1][2] Nepal has two of the eighty peace pagodas in the world: Shanti Stupa in Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha and Shanti Stupa in Pokhara. Shanti Stupa in Pokhara has also become a tourist attraction. It provides a panoramic view of the Annapurna range, Pokhara city and Fewa Lake.[3]
