Swayambunath

Swayambunath

In the afternoon (weather is better no mist) you could visit the hill of Swayambunath, 3 km outside the city. On the hill's top, a huge stupa looks after the valley. There is a stairway with 365 steps (one per day of the year). A stupa is a kind of cairn on the summit of which are painted the eyes of Buddha. You could feel a great atmosphere of peace among the Buddhist monks with red dresses. Some funny monkeys play all over the monument. Fine view of Kathmandu.
