Boudhanath Travel Tips
Boudhanath travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • A great destination that's easily reachable by taxi from Kathmandu. The ghats and temples are really beautiful, but my favorite part was the troop of monkeys that came bounding down the steps. Great place to spend an afternoon.  J a s o n
