The following are pictures from the tour of the Buddhist temple, Swayambhunath. There are 365 steps up to the site where the temple is located. We drove to another entrance point and then walked DOWN the steps. There are also Hindu shrines located on this site. Buddhists climb the steps, feeling they earn merit for doing so. If you click on the photo itself it will take you to the photo-sharing website where you can read the captions better.

365 steps...one for each day of the year? hmmm lots of prayer flags here. Do you know if there are any Christian churches in this area? And those Christians in Kathmandu, do they still practice any of these traditions still with the flags, cremation/death ceremony, prayer wheels?
