The next part of the Heritage Tour Around Kathmandu Valley continues with a visit of beautiful Bouddhanath Stupa which is a mere distance of 20 minutes' drive from Pashupatinath temple (Also part of Kathmandu Tour).

Bouddhanath with huge dome-shaped Stupa believed to an incarnation of Dharmakaya (Buddha mind) and hence an object of devotion for all Buddhists.

The Stupa constructed in traditional Nepalese architecture with raised platforms of two layers with all-seeing eyes of Buddha.

This place is also called “Little Tibet” where many Tibetans and Tibetan origin people reside with shops and stores and many excellent restaurants, where we can stop for a lunch break before our next interesting tour.

Afternoon a short drive to Swayambhunath, a popular and famous pilgrimage site for Buddhist and Hindu as well. An ancient Chaitiya or Stupa and a major symbol of Nepal’s Buddhist heritage, Swayambhunath represents Primordial Buddha or Adi-Buddha.

The hilltop where Swayambhunath Chaitiya is built is called Padmagiri, Vajrakuta, Gosringa, Gopuchha, Samhegu, and Simbhu and listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From Swayambhunath after a wonderful tour, our next visit leads with a short drive in the hub of Kathmandu around old palace courtyard square areas also known as Hanuman Dhoka (door guarded by a monkey god devotee of Lord Rama).
