Swayambhunath

Swyambunath is called the monkey temple in english, but it is so much more than just a hang out place for monkeys. The stupa is in Kathmandu at the top of a very long flight of stairs. There are many small buildins surounding the stupa with statues and carvings and a monistary. There were many people there doing pujas and making offerings.















Butter lamps at the base of the temple.

I looked one of the monkeys in the eye and he chased me. Eeeek!
