It's worth going. We rode elephants in Chitwan National Park and watched the world's rare unicorn rhinos, peacocks and other beautiful birds, elk and other animals. Also rafting in the small river in a canoe, close to see more than a dozen crocodiles, many birds and the virgin forests on both sides of the Straits. Also led by locals on foot in the jungle. Also visited the elephant breeding center. Also watched the sunset of the long river...
Home to rare species like the one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tigers, and diverse birdlife, the park offers an unforgettable jungle safari experience.Chitwan National Park in Nepal is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Whether you explore by jeep, canoe, or elephant-back, the rich biodiversity and lush landscapes are truly mesmerizing. If you love adventure and wildlife, Chitwan National Park is a must-visit destination for an authentic jungle escape.

Last year I visited - Phewa Lake in Pokhara, Nepal, is a breathtaking destination that perfectly blends natural beauty and tranquility. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the stunning landscape. Boating on the lake, especially at sunrise or sunset, is a mesmerizing experience. The Tal Barahi Temple, located on an island in the lake, adds a spiritual charm. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, Phewa Lake is a must-visit spot for nature lovers and photographers
Phewa Lake in Pokhara is a breathtaking destination, offering serene waters, stunning mountain reflections, and vibrant lakeside activities. Boating on the lake is a must, with options to paddle yourself or hire a boatman. The view of the Annapurna range, especially at sunrise or sunset, is mesmerizing. The Tal Barahi Temple, situated on an island, adds a cultural touch. The lakeside area is lively with cafes, restaurants, and shops. Whether for relaxation or adventure.

1. Swayambhunath Stupa is a famous Buddhist temple in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. It is also called Monkey Temple because of the many wild monkeys in the temple. It is also called the Four-eyed God Temple. It is a world cultural heritage with a history of 2,500 years and one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Asia. It is an important spiritual totem for Mahayana Buddhists. It also has a Hindu shrine. It is the only temple in the world where Buddhism and Hinduism coexist. The shrines are lined with spires, incense is strong, solemn and sacred, and the mountain top has a wide view, overlooking the panoramic view of Kathmandu. The scenic area is divided into two major areas: the giant stupa and the mountain trail. It is a good place for viewing photography, humanities learning, worshiping Buddha, shopping, and parent-child walks. There will be celebrations every year on Buddha's Birthday (April or May) and Tibetan New Year (February or March). Due to the 8.1 magnitude earthquake in Nepal on April 25, 2015, the ancient buildings were severely damaged, and there are still buildings under repair.
①Address: Kathmandu, Kathmandu, Nepal

2. The giant stupa is the core building of the temple. It is mainly white and more than 40 meters high. Its shape is very similar to the Boudhanath Stupa. It has five floors, specifically:
①The first floor of the tower: a semi-circular structure tower base, representing water, and also said to be the womb of life creation, with golden niches embedded on all four sides, and the five Tathagatas are enshrined inside. The ground is a circle of prayer wheels, and visitors can turn them three times clockwise to pray for blessings. ② The second floor of the tower: a square structure, representing the earth, with four squares painted with a pair of eyebrows and eyes, called "wisdom eyes", symbolizing omniscience. ③ The third floor of the tower: a triangular structure, representing fire, divided into 13 levels, with a decreasing cross-sectional area layer by layer, in a cone shape, symbolizing the thirteen positions of the Bodhisattva from cause to effect. ④ The fourth floor of the tower: an umbrella-shaped structure, representing the wind, with a small bell hanging below, and the breeze will make bursts of sound, symbolizing nirvana. ⑤ The fifth floor of the tower: a spiral structure, representing the essence of life, composed of all things composed of water, earth, fire, and wind, in the Buddha It is called "the harmony of the four elements" in Buddhism.
⑥ Five-color ribbons: multiple ribbons, connecting the top of the tower to the ground, shaped like five-color prayer flags, in the order of blue, white, red, green, and yellow, representing the blue sky, white clouds, flames, green water, and loess respectively.
3. The platform where the giant stupa is located is also the core area of the scenic area. There are many people and dense landscapes around the stupa. The ones that impressed me the most are:
① Stone pagoda matrix: neatly arranged small towers (cover photo), which contain relics such as relics and clothes left after the death of eminent monks of all generations
② Hindu goddess temple: two-story eaves Buddha niche, the only temple in the world where Buddhist and Hindu buildings coexist. There is a row of Hindu believers sitting on the ground eating hand-held rice in the doorless house next to the temple, which is very exotic
③ Small temples: none of them have names, and are named according to their characteristics. There is a single-story reclining Buddha temple (the main enshrines a reclining Buddha, and there are stone artifacts in the glass showcases around it)...
The word count exceeds the limit, and continues in the last picture
Best place to visit during your stay in Kathmandu. Monkey temple also called Swayambhunath Stupa in local nepali language. It had became an important place for Buddhism. Mostly crowded by tourists. Its is one the highest point in Kathmandu valley surrounded by prayer and Monkey.

Built in 2000 at the turn of the century, the Peace Tower was funded by Buddhists from Nepal, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Japan. The tower is 115 feet tall and 344 feet wide, divided into two floors. The tower is white and round, pagoda-style. On the four walls of the second floor of the Peace Tower, the golden statues of Buddha Sakyamuni in four stages are molded. The tower is a great viewing spot. The vast Lake Fewa, the dense houses under the mountain, and the snowy mountain view in the distance are fully reflected.
We drove to the World Peace Pagoda. The Chinese characters "Nihonsan Myohoji" were at the entrance. I was confused for a moment, so I searched and found out that the Nepal World Peace Pagoda was built in 2000 at the turn of the century by people from four countries, Japan, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Nepal. The main fundraiser was the Buddhist community in Japan. On the four walls of the World Peace Pagoda, there are statues of the Buddha Sakyamuni in four stages. The first statue reflects the birth of the Buddha under the Bodhi tree in Lumbini, Nepal. The second statue reflects the scene of Sakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya.
The third statue is Sakyamuni Buddha's first Dharma wheel in Sarnath.
The last statue is Sakyamuni Buddha's death in Kushinagar. "So there are many Japanese Buddhist elements in the temple, and the style follows the big sponsor🌝
The view of the Himalayas from the height where the Peace Pagoda is located is very good. I met many Indian tourists and was pulled to take some photos. I also hugged and greeted several women in ethnic costumes politely.😊
