    Boudhanath Stupa, also called Bodnath Stupa, is the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple outside Tibet. The Stupa’s massive Mandala makes it one of the largest spherical Stupas in the world. The holy Stupa is located in a town called Boudha which is about 11 km (6.7 miles) from the centre and on the eastern outskirts of the Kathmandu valley.

    This ebook is a virtual tour around Boudhanath Stupa.
