One of Nepal’s holiest Buddhist stupas🇳🇵🙏

#hiddengems Perched majestically on a hillock, 3 km west of Kathmandu, Swayambhunath Stupa emerges as a beacon of tranquility amidst Nepal's bustling landscape. Known as the "self-existent one," Swayambhu holds profound significance as one of Nepal's holiest Buddhist stupas. Its origins, dating back to 460 A.D., are steeped in legend and reverence. Built by King Manadeva, this sacred site evolved into a pivotal center of Buddhism by the 13th century. Ascend the winding path to its summit, adorned with fluttering prayer flags, to behold the timeless allure of the stupa. Lose yourself in the serene atmosphere as you absorb the spiritual energy that permeates every inch. Here, amidst ancient history and serene vistas, discover a sanctuary for the soul, where the past and present converge in peaceful harmony.
