Colours of Boudhanath

The Boudhanath is the largest stupa in Nepal and reputedly the holiest outside of Tibet. It is an important place of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists and the local Nepalese as well as one of the favourite tourist sites.

When we got there, people seemed to be walking around the street surrounding the stupa in a clock-wise direction, so we followed... while turning the prayer wheels embedded in the wall around the stupa.

It's a colourful affair for the devotees and tourists alike walking around the Boudhanath stupa.
The buildings housing homes, monasteries, shops, hotels, restaurants surrounding the stupa are colourful, and further complemented by the colourful prayer flags and strings of marigold draped around the stupa
