 | Kathmandu Bodhnath Stupa Reviews | 11 - 20 of 36 |  |
Boudhanath is the largest stupa in Nepal and the largest Tibetan monument outside of Tibet. Many Tibetan refugees live in this area and, especially during the last 20 years they have constructed many monasteries in the roads behind the stupa. Among these more than 20 monasteries, all four orders of Tibetan Buddhism are represented. The exact age of the stupa is not known, but historians agree that it is about 1500 years old. You can climb quite high up the base of the stupa and you will join several of the faithful, many of them (both westerners and easterners) meditating or turning prayer wheels. As many people come here to study Buddhism many restaurants and guest houses have opened, especially in the last few years Leave a Comment Address: Boudhanath

 bodnath stupa by pink63
This picture was taken from the terrace of a bar in front of the stupa. It is a very peaceful place in Kathmandu far away from the crowding and the smog of the city. Leave a Comment

At the entrace, on the right side there is a small room where some monks are taking care of it. They will be very proud to show you all and try to explain you the meaning of it!
It is an amazing activity and an amazing sight! Leave a Comment

Bodhanath is a place (and it doesn’t exist a lot of place like this) where the tibetean culture is so self evident and “free”.
When you take the main entrance, on the left and on the righ side you will see a lot of small shops that are selling every kind of religion stuff (too expensive here!!, search 4 it in Thamel!) and a lot of smaller monasteries.
The tibetean culture is so impressive!
Here , you can also walk trough the Gompa and get to the Top, but keep in mid to follow the right directions (anyway, there are a lof of signals and everyone there will assit you in the entrance).
The first immage that will impress you is the pray section, so huge and coloured.
The religious music, the tibetean population, the quietness, the pray section makes this place unbelievable!
Here you will meet also some european/american buddist students.
Bodhanath is a place where you will spend at lest three hours. Is not so huge place, but the time will pass you by. Leave a Comment
