Bouddhanath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a vibrant center of Tibetan Buddhist tradition, stands as a symbol of enlightenment and peace, originating from the 5th century. Its iconic stupa, adorned with mandalas and the ever-watchful eyes, overlooks pilgrims and visitors alike in a space filled with the scent of incense and the hum of prayer wheels. Our heritage tour extends beyond the stupa, guiding you through hidden gems like Shechen and Kopan Monasteries, where you can witness monks’ rituals, explore Tibetan thangka art, and experience meditation practices that deepen the spiritual and cultural essence of the visit.
