A short drive later and we arrive at Bodhnath Stupa, the centre of the exiled Tibetan community. The Buddhist stupa dominates the skyline and is one of the largest in the world. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site – and mighty impressive it was. The Stupa is surrounded by Prayer wheels on all sides and prayer flags fluttered brightly from the tower at the centre of the Stupa to its extremities.
Not surprisingly for a tourist attraction, on all side of the Stupa there were shops of every kind facing the throng of tourists, selling anything from “Singing Bowls” to traditional Nepalese clothes.
