Our only organized tour in Kathmandu was to Boudhanath, the largest stupa in Nepal and estimated to be about 1400 years old. To get a better view, I walked through the side streets to a hotel on a small ridge. I politely asked if I could go to the roof for some photos and they pleasantly obliged. I sat there for a while just soaking in this wonderful scene; the size of Boudhanath struck me even more so from this higher farther vantage point.
