- Stupa
The UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ) has designated almost 51 World heritage sites in South Asia. Swayambhunath is one of them in Nepal.
Swayambhunath is an ancient religious complex atop a hill in Kathmandu valley. It is a most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage site and Tibetan Buddhism.
The temple has two access points , a long stairway with 365 steps on east side and another car road around the hill from southwest side with almost 65 steps. We took the route of 65 steps as it was impossible for us to climb 365 steps with kids and pressing time.
