Boudhhanath Stupa, Kathmandu
This site is lies 8 Kms. east of main Kathmandu City and is declared to stand as the largest Buddhist Stupa of South Asia and probably one of the larges in the world. It has become the focal point of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal; also it is the Nepal-center for Tibetan activities. It is believed that King Man Dev belonging to the Lichhabi dynasty built this ancient huge Buddhist Stupa in 6th century, some believes that it was constructed in 5th century, but definite proof is lacking. It rests on a series of three terraces and takes the relevant shape of a Lotus flower, which indeed remains a very holy object for the devout Buddhists of the entire world. The white mound looms thirty-six meters overhead. The Stupa is surrounded by a circular market, which forms a part of Tibetan town. The Stupa embraces the authentic philosophy of Mahayana – the faith, which is known as Lamaism or Tibetan Tantric Buddhism in Sikkim & Ladakh of India, Bhutan and Tibet. The site is listed as 'world heritage site' by UNESCO and is one of the other seven such sites in Kathmandu Valley.

 

Potala Palace, Tibet
The Potala Palace located in Lhasa, Tibet. The Potala Palace was the chief residence of the Dalai Lama until the 14th Dalai Lama fled to Dharamsala, India after a failed uprising in 1959.
The site was used as a meditation retreat by King Songtsen Gampo, who in 637 built the first palace there in order to greet his bride Princess Wen Cheng of the Tang Dynasty of China. The construction of the present palace began in 1645 under the fifth Dalai Lama, Lozang Gyatso. In 1648, the Potrang Karpo (White Palace) was completed, and the Potala was used as a winter palace by the Dalai Lama from that time. The Potrang Marpo (Red Palace) was added between 1690 and 1694.
