Towering high above Kathmandu on a green hill, Swayambhunath temple is a great place to visit, not just for the stupas and pilgrims, but also the many monkeys.
It is not always easy to ask a taxi driver for directions, but in the case of Swayambhunath temple, it was: I could actually point to the towers rising above the trees on top of one of the hills dominating the skyline of Kathmandu when I asked for a ride in the early morning. Apart from driving up, you can also take a walk on the long stairway leading directly to the platform on which the great stupa of Swayambhunath sits, surrounded by two high, white towers: the Indian shikhara-style temples. The climb up is nothing enduring, but I saw some people struggling their way up very slowly, taking one step at a time; I can imagine it took them a long time to reach the top!
