About Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu

Boudhanath Stupa, with its colossal white mandala set against the beautiful landscape of the Himalayas, is the most important Buddhist stupa in Nepal. The original construction is as old as 600 AD. The Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo is said to have constructed it as homage to Avalokiteshvara, back when he had converted to Buddhism. Another story goes that the king constructed the stupa in penance after he mistakenly killed his father. Later during the 14th century, Boudhanath stupa in Kathmandu was plundered and left in a state of ruins by Mughal invaders. So the current edifice that stands is a reconstruction by later rulers. However, the significance of the place remains untarnished. At night when the place comes alive with lights streaming down from the spire, Boudhanath Stupa looks magical.

Significance of Boudhanath:

The most important thing about Boudhanath stupa is the many architectural and numerological tributes it pays to Buddhism. From a bird’s eye view, the map of Boudha Kathmandu looks like Mount Meru – the mythical mountain at the centre of the cosmos as per Buddhism. Four meditating Buddha statues guard the four cardinal points of the temple. From the base to the top, there are five different segments that signify each of the five elements of nature. The plinth at the bottom represents earth, upon which the temple is built. The magnificent white-washed dome is water that sustains life. Above that is a small square base where there are eyes drawn on all. The Boudhanath stupa eyes are said to be Lord Buddha’s watching over the world. On top of that goes up a spire with 13 steps. The triangular shape of the spire represents fire. The 13 steps are to mark the 13 rites of passage to attain enlightenment as said by Buddha. Above the spire, the gilded canopy spread like an umbrella is the embodiment of air and finally the gilded spire; rising above all is what represents the ether, or void or the eternal space.

    Bedanta Bikash Kalita

    Bedanta's 6 days trip to kathmandu

    Every thing is well organised. Driver niranjan is very humble and helpful. Always on time. Hotels are good, clean and food is also good. Hotel shangrila nagarkot is spacious with a great view of the mountain and sunrise can be seen from the bed itself . Hotel lake paradise is overall good but all
    electric sockets are non functional in both the rooms but extension board was arranged by the hotel staff which is great help. All the hotels are clean staff are helpful. Hotel Taleju in kathmandu is good. Car given to us is actually a chinese made electric van which they called a luxury van with no view of outside and poor suspension. It requires charging twice on route to Pokhara and Kathmandu. Power cut in charging station is frequent and long queue makes it a very impractical vehicle for tourists who visit for leisure. Driver tried his best to keep us comfortable during the journey. Owner of the agency get offended when I compared the Chinese van with Maruti eco. But actually the van is poor in suspension then eco and cant see anything outside. According to them if the seats are reclining it comes under luxury category.. actually its not their fault the agency already sent the pictures of the vehicle at the time of booking but I mistook it by its look with the luxury tourist van that are used in other South East Asian countries. These vehicles may be a good option only after the highway construction and is completed.

    MD Adventure went above and beyond in making my parents' trip to Nepal an unforgettable experience. Both of them are senior citizens, and we were a bit concerned about their comfort and safety, but everything was handled so wonderfully. Miss Sabuu’s professionalism and kindness stood out from the
    start. She treated my parents like her own family, providing them with constant support, answering every question, and ensuring that they had everything they needed. Her warm and caring nature made the trip extra special. The drivers were extremely reliable, always arriving on time and ensuring a smooth, safe ride throughout their journey. The hotels chosen were excellent, offering a perfect mix of comfort and local charm. My parents felt truly pampered after a long day of sightseeing. The itinerary was spot-on—well-organized and thoughtful. It allowed them to explore all the key sites without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Thanks to MD Adventure, my parents enjoyed a perfectly balanced trip of culture, relaxation, and adventure. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Her warm welcome at the airport, along with a thoughtful gift, made us feel at ease right away. Sabuu also provided a

One note for vegetarians: options can be limited, so it's helpful to bring your own snacks or meals. I highly recommend MD Adventures, especially with Sabuu!
