swayambhunath or the monkey temple..
one of unesco's world heritage site, the swayambunath buddhist temple is a breathtaking stupa sitting on top of the hill.. while it's not too far away from the rush of kathmandu city though there is a sense of peacefulness prevailling over the place.. any time, any day, the temple will be bustling with activities.. pilgrims walking around muttering the mantra om mani padme hum.. visitors turning the copper prayer wheels in clockwise direction.. colourful prayer flags waving high from the top of the stupa.. this is definitely a place that will leave everyone awestrucked..
