The stupa covers 6756 sq km of land, 141 ft tall, 100 ft in diameter, and 3-tiered plinths in yantra form raised over 12 crossed rectangles. Five Dhyani Buddhas set Vairochana at the centre, Ratnasambhava in the south, Amitabha in the west, Amoghasiddhi in the north, and Aksobhya in the east direction. The dom tied 108 small niches with icons of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and female deities of conjoint figures in erotic poses. The floor base has countless praying wheels with carving mantras, Om Mani Padme Hum.

Boudhanath Stupa is a prominent landmark and visiting spot in Kathmandu. It contains the relics and remains of Buddha.There is a large spherical stupa and the place is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The place is usually crowded with tourists from all over the world and there are a number of cafes and shops in the periphery, where visitors can spend time.

This stupa is surprising in that from the street it seems like a regular street, but once you walk in the area is quite charming. It is large and essentially you may just walk around and take pictures. It is surprisingly peaceful and serene compared to what is happening around it.

A beautiful Stupa with hundreds of colourful pray flags hanging in lines from its peak. All around the base are hundreds of pray wheels which are continuously being spun by visitors walking clockwise around the Stupa. The colours are so vibrant and the carving so intricate. All around the Stupa are shops selling a huge variety of items and rooftop restaurants from where you can get some amazing views of the Stupa.

saw it only from the outside. Our group wasn't offered a visit to the inside (unfortunately) as I can see from photos posted by others. the stupa is immense and walked pretty much around it. Lots of little shops surround it that are quite interesting. the eyes make it look almost kind of spooky.

A well maintained stupa with 4 major monasteries and. shops selling Tibetan products. A one day ticket costs Rs 100/-. We took a guide to take us around as we had limited time here. The guide did a good job explaining and showing us around in about 2 hours.

COLOURFUL fluttering flags arcing down from the top of Boudhanath Stupa only added to the dominant impression that visitors got of this landmark site. I spent a large chunk of time exploring the area, first walking round the entire stupa in the required clockwise direction and then going inside to follow a circular route round which had numerous floral displays. This is one of the largest circular stupas in the world, a World Heritage site and a hugely popular destination for visitors to Kathmandu. It is also a useful chance to browse for souvenirs notably handicrafts and also to climb up into a little monastery and look out from a first floor balcony over this huge monument if you can see it through flocks of pigeons. I also got to push a giant prayer wheel taller than myself round three times while considering the place I was visiting. The Boudhanath Stupa is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Kathmandu and it attracted crowds of people to see it while I was there. Definitely a "must see" site on anyone's visit to Kathmandu.

Boudhanath Stupa has never failed to consistently inspire wonder in me. The magnificent stupa stands tall and transcends time, enveloping the air with tranquillity. This sacred site is not just a visual delight but also an enduring spiritual legacy of Buddhism. However, it would have been wonderful if the sacredness of the place is preserved without the intrusion of various shops. This might also make the place less crowded.
