Mero Maya Nepal Episode 2 - Boudhanath
Boudhanath stupa has been around for centuries and is a hub for Tibetan culture in Nepal. You can find souvenirs, traditional clothing, and food from multiple Nepali cultural groups.
Many tourist attractions in Kathmandu are tied to Hinduism and shopping around these areas is more akin to south Asian clothing and souvenirs. But Boudhanath has more central Asian vibes and is an interesting change of pace.
Not mentioned in the video, but there is very good food to be found around Boudhanath as well - from traditional Chinese food to enormous momo (steamed dumplings) to Himalayan Java (Nepal's equivalent to Starbucks).
It's an extremely popular tourist destination as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Definitely worth checking out during a visit to Nepal.
