About Boudhanath

Close Panel

The largest stupa in Nepal, Boudhanath is one of the most important Buddhist sites in the country. Located on the edge of the Kathmandu, on the trade route between Tibet and India, the stupa was probably founded by 5th or 6th century, and has became increasingly important in the 20th century as refugees from Tibet decided to make this area their home. The region around Boudhanath is home to numerous Tibetan monasteries and has a rich Tibetan culture.
