Nepal 5.1 -Bouddhanath Stupa-

Four straight early mornings has really taken a toll on us.
1sept, 4am (Dubai time) to go to airport
2sept, 6am (4am Dubai time) for non-existent breakfast
3sept, 4am (2am Dubai time) for invisible Himalaya sunrise
4sept, 6am (4am Dubai time) for breakfast and back to Kathmandu
So 5sept, we slept till 9.30am to start the day lo!
A well deserved rest indeed! As our biological clock still working according to Dubai time not Nepal time.

We went to this Colossal stupa the biggest in Nepal, The Bouddhhnath stupa is also known as Khasti Chitya and is considered as one of the oldest stupas in the country. After China took over Tibet in 1959, many Tibetans came and have settled in Bouddhanath area.

With a diameter of about 100m and a height of 40m, Bouddhanath is among the largest stupas in the world. It has been renovated time and again and the present form of stupa was renovated in the 17th century.

All around the Stupa there were Buddhist monks in their red robes and worshippers making a circle around the stupa, CDs of monks chanting, there are also lotta shops selling tourist stuffs and lotta big-big things!

BIG BELLS!

BIG WHEELS! There were even Kwai Lol enchanting among those Monks and its okay to walk into any chanting temple but it must be done clock-wise. Just like everything in Nepal shall be done in Clock-wise!
