Pilgrims and worshippers are diverse from Newar nuns, Tibetan monks and Brahmin priests. Stands on a hillock overlooking great views of the Kathmandu city and array of snowcapped mountain range.

Only Hindus are permitted to enter the main courtyard of the temple. Alien tourists can view the temple from the eastern side of the Bagmati River.
Bouddhanath Stupa:
This is declared to stand as the largest Buddhist shrine of South Asia. It rests on a series of three terraces and from the bird's eye view it takes the relevant shape or of a lotus flower which indeed remains a very holy object for all the devout Buddhists of the world. The chhorten is surrounded by a circular market, which forms a part of Tibet town. In this case, also the four pairs of the Buddha's eyes give a vivid flash to the four cardinal directions, meaning to keep a diligent watch over the people and their commitments all day all night.
