1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #557 - Boudhanath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #557
 
- Boudhanath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal
 

(This Unesco Heritage site, the Boudhanath Stupa dominates the skyline here , and is one of the largest stupas in the world. The "eyes" at the top of the white dome are iconic. However, the spire was also severely cracked during the 2015 earthquake, requiring it to be replaced with a new spire. Another serene place of worship, its stairs allow us to climb to the base of the dome and walk clockwise around it)
