Swayambhunath Temple in Nepal, built on a hill🛕 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Stairs available 📍Location: P77R+X52, BHAGANPAU 44600 Nepal 🕰️Opening hours: 24h 💰Price per person: Rs.200 (foreigners only) 💞Recommended reasons: Swayambhunath, the oldest Buddhist temple in Nepal, stands on a hill about 3km west of the center of Kathmandu. The view of the cityscape of Kathmandu spread out from the top of a steep stone staircase of just under 400 steps, with multiple pagodas lined up, is truly spectacular. It may be a bit tough for those with weak legs, but it's worth the effort. And the view from the hill is outstanding. Please visit on a sunny day. Stupas are Buddhist pagodas that symbolize the state of enlightenment known as Nirvana in the Hindu worldview, and the Buddha's eyes of wisdom are painted on all four sides. The top of the pagoda is made of 20kg of pure gold. The pagoda is also decorated with prayer flags in five colors that represent the landscape of Nepal. Blue represents the sky, white the wind, red the fire, green the water, and yellow the earth, and each flag has a sutra written on it. By the way, there are so many monkeys that the temple is also known as the Monkey Temple. The little monkeys are cute, but be careful not to carry food with you as they will steal it. #swayambhunath #nepal #nepaltemple #temple #templetouring #swayambhunath

A trip to Nepal would have been incomplete if you did not make a visit here. Swayambhunath Temple is a sacred Buddhist site with many holy stupas and shrines and it is the most important religious site in Nepal. Unfortunately the skies were a bit cloudy when we were there, as we saw the iconic painted eyes and eyebrows on the stupa, we totally forgot about the weather and start exploring the historical holy site. Though it is also known as Monkey Temple, but I think we are lucky enough as we did not bumped into many of them. Walking around the temple gives us a sense of positive vibes as we listen to the chantings from the monks. Many come here to pray. It was really an eye opening when we see how faithful and respectful worshippers are when they pray at the temple. We were also lucky to have the opportunity to witness the local wedding ceremony happening at the temple. We wish the newly wed couple a blessed new life and happy marriage. There are also shops and restaurants around the temple. Visitors can find many local handmade products and handcrafts souvenirs around. #historicallandmarks #temples #monkeytemple #swayambhunath #travelnepal #yolobeliever #bucketlist #周走走_2728
