Spring Check-in at Nepal's Monkey Temple

In Nepal, there is a temple located on the top of a hill in the western part of Kathmandu, which is one of the oldest temples in Asia. This temple is known as the 'Monkey Temple' due to the abundance of monkeys and is one of Nepal's famous attractions. The Monkey Temple has a long history that dates back to the 3rd century BC. It is a pilgrimage site for Buddhists and one of Nepal's cultural heritages. The stupa inside the temple is one of the tallest in Nepal, reaching 36 meters in height. The stupa is conical in shape, and the eyes painted on the base are known as the 'Eyes of Wisdom,' seemingly possessing the ability to see through everything. The temple is a favorite destination for many locals and tourists. Here, people can admire the spectacular Buddhist architecture, exquisite Buddha statues, and stone carvings, and feel the rich Buddhist cultural atmosphere. And the most eye-catching are the monkeys that coexist with the temple. For friends visiting Nepal, the Monkey Temple is worth a stroll.
