## About

Begin your tour with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Kathmandu. Travel to the Swayambhunath Stupa, a hilltop complex filled with shrines, statues, and monkeys, offering a spiritual atmosphere and the best views of the Kathmandu Valley.

Explore the Great Stupa, featuring the iconic "Eyes of Buddha" and a gilded 13-tier spire. Visit the Harati Devi Temple, a popular Hindu-Buddhist shrine dedicated to the Goddess of Smallpox and protector of children.

See Shantipur (Sky Mansion), a mysterious, locked box-shaped temple said to contain a living 5th-century meditation master. Admire Pratappur and Anantapur, two white, bullet-shaped shikharas (temples) flanking the main stupa.

Toss a coin into the World Peace Pond, a modern addition where visitors toss coins for good luck. Marvel at the Great Vajra, a massive brass lightning bolt symbol representing the power of enlightenment. Finally, visit the Swayambhu Buddhist Museum, a small collection of religious artifacts and statues near the top.
