Korte feiten: A giant mandala in the form of a massive white dome with a gilded tower, it’s one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal. Devotees from Tibet and Nepal walk clockwise around it, spinning prayer wheels embedded in its base.
Hoogtepunten: Colorful prayer flags flutter against a radiant pair of eyes painted on all four sides of the tower, believed to symbolize Buddha’s all-seeing wisdom. At sunset, the stupa glows golden, creating a surreal, almost otherworldly atmosphere that captivates visitors and pilgrims alike.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking around the stupa’s base clockwise.
- Bring a camera for capturing breathtaking sunset views and prayer flag colors.
- Avoid peak midday for quieter moments and better photos.
- Respect local customs: dress modestly and ask before photographing locals.
