Swayambhunath is a Buddhist temple soaring above Kathmandu City on a hilltop. The long walk up the stairway is rewarded with scenic views of Kathmandu valley, a glittering stupa, and a very atmospheric small town. On the way to the top, you will see monkeys roaming freely which is why Swayambhunath is also known as the Monkey Temple.
This place defines the common scene in Buddhist temples in Nepal... a small community surrounds a stupa which is topped by gilded spire and painted with the eyes of Buddha.
