Swayambhunath (Nepal)

It is another UNESCO world heritage site in Kathmandu. There are both Hindu and Buddhist temples on the hill. And on top of the hill, there's a pretty good view of Kathmandu, if there is no fog.










The are many handicraft and food sellers along the way, and there are many local devotees. However, the highlight seems to be the monkeys which were roaming around the site. They are really aggressive and you should not hold any food or plastic bags while walking if you don't want the monkeys to come snatching your food away.

Overall, it's a pretty nice place to visit ad there are many intricate carvings of the Gods and Buddhas.
