Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, is one of Kathmandu’s most iconic and revered Buddhist sites. Perched on a hilltop, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley. The stupa, believed to be over 2,000 years old, is surrounded by myth, legend, and vibrant prayer flags, while mischievous monkeys roam freely, adding to its unique charm.
