- Cover photo description:
- Traveler Thai Women in Boudhanath or Bodnath Stupa is the largest stupa in Nepal and the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple outside Tibet It is the center of Tibetan culture in Kathmandu Boudhanath or Bodnath Stupa with Buddha eyes or Wisdom eyes is the largest stupa in Nepal and the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple outside Tibet It is the center of Tibetan culture in Kathmandu. The Buddhist stupa of Boudhanath dominates the skyline. The ancient Stupa is one of the largest in the world. The influx of large populations of refugees from Tibet has seen the construction of over 50 Tibetan Gompas (Monasteries) around Boudhanath. As of 1979, Boudhanath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along with Swayambhunath, it is one of the most popular tourist sites in the Kathmandu area. The Stupa is on the ancient trade route from Tibet which enters the Kathmandu Valley by the village of Sankhu in the northeast corner, passes by Boudnath Stupa to the ancient and smaller stupa of CÄ-bahÄ« (often called 'Little Boudnath'). It then turns directly south, heading over the Bagmati river to Patan - thus bypassing the main city of Kathmandu (which was a later foundation). Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayers here for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet in the 1950s, many decided to live around Boudhanath. The Stupa is said to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha.
