I went to Buddha Stupa during my stay in Kathmandu, I really like this Stupa. Normally i suggest visiting this in evening with sun set which makes very much different than day time. It makes change my mind visiting this Stupa for religious view.

This place has so much significance to the Tibetan people and apart from the colours and grandeur of the place it is wonderful to quietly watch the people as they perform their daily rituals.

If I had to choose whether to go to Monkey Temple or Boudhanath stupa, I would select Boudhanath. There's no view over Kathmandu like in Monkey Temple, but Boudhanath is bigger, more impressive and it feels more spiritual. Yes there are a lot of small shops around stupa, very commercial.

I just so happened to visit this Stupa on the Buddha's birthday, which added a whole new dimension to this amazing place. I like how this stupa is more open than the others, which allows you to walk around without crashing into statues or vendors. Very enjoyable.

It's a very scenic spot in Kathmandu. Mostly because of the large number of pilgrims. The stupa itself is ... big. You can spend s at least about an hour at this place.

Beautiful and worth visiting. Much better than Thamel!
