We walk slowly around the Stupa with Tibetan monks and pilgrims, following the silent flow of prayer. The sound of bells, the mantras vibrating in the air, and the spinning prayer wheels create a suspended, intense atmosphere, capable of touching us deeply. It is a moment not to be forgotten: our first true contact with the soul of Nepal.   <\/p>\n<p>Legend has it that a devout elderly Buddhist woman asked the King for only a small piece of land to build a temple. The King, perplexed, granted her a space the size of a wool sweater. The woman then unraveled the sweater and, with the thread, traced a perimeter much larger than expected. On that land rose the majestic <strong>Boudhanath Stupa<\/strong>, today the most important Buddhist cultural center in Nepal, a UNESCO World Heritage site, around which over fifty monasteries have been built. Here we feel the strength of a simple, vibrant, and powerful faith.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; title=&#8221;7:00 PM &#8211; Welcome Dinner at a restaurant overlooking the Stupa&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1768070645166-2-3&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;129525&#8243;]We conclude the day with a <strong>Welcome Dinner<\/strong> at a small restaurant overlooking the Stupa.
