🇳🇵 Swayambhunath Temple (Monkey Temple) Guide | Kathmandu
Perched atop a hill with panoramic city views, Swayambhunath—affectionately called "Monkey Temple"—is a must-visit where cheeky monkeys 🐵 mingle with pilgrims. 📍 Location: Search "Swayambhunath Temple" on maps. An easy walk from Thamel (recommended! You’ll pass fascinating local neighborhoods). 🎟️ Ticket: 200 NPR (~¥10) for foreigners (ticket booth near the summit). Psst… Some bypass the fee via back routes (untested by me). ⚠️ Monkey Etiquette: No teasing, feeding, or carrying drinks—they’ll snatch them! Keep distance to avoid scratches. 📸 Pro Tip: Visit on a clear blue-sky day for stunning photos against golden stupas and the Himalayan backdrop. #NepalTravel #KathmanduGuide #MonkeyTemple #HiddenGems
