Location
Swayambhu sits on a hill on the western side of Kathmandu. The stupa's long stairway is a good early-morning climb, with views across the valley at the top. Thamel and the old city are a taxi ride or a longer walk east.
Good to know
- The monkeys around the stupa will grab food and loose items, so keep bags closed.
- Expect to use taxis for most of the city's other sights.
