Boudhanath

Boudhanath Stupa (often called Boudha or Khasti Chaitya) stands as the largest spherical stupa in Nepal and serves as the epicenter of Tibetan Buddhism within the Kathmandu Valley [Boudha_Stupa]. Located roughly 7 kilometers northeast of downtown Kathmandu, this UNESCO World Heritage Site dominates the skyline with its massive white dome and gilded tower. For centuries, it has operated as a profound monument of devotion, a cosmological map of the universe, and a living sanctuary for thousands of pilgrims.
