BoudhaNath Stupa

A must see if visiting Nepal!
Every sunrise at Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu brings along with it the sound of ringing bells and Mantras, the smell of incense, the spinning or prayer wheels, and woven in between it all, thousands of pigeons. Buddhist practitioners feed pigeons seeds every morning as offerings to acquire good karma, the watchful eyes of Boudhanath Stupa looming just behind the frantic yet calming scene of people and feathers. Situation in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu, Boudhanath offers travelers a look into the Tibetan Buddhist way of life and is on of Buddhism's holiest sites (and also an UNESCO World Heritage Site).
