Swayambhunath, Kathmandu, Nepal: 'The iconic whitewashed stupa of Swayambhunath is both a Unesco World Heritage Site and one of Nepal’s most sacred Buddhist shrines. Beneath the iconic, all-seeing eyes of the stupa lies an eclectic mishmash of prayer flags, Buddha statues and Tibetan chapels. Pilgrims wander the shrines, spinning prayer wheels and murmuring mantras, while nearby astrologers read palms.'
