Day 6 : Shopping at Boudanath Stupa Area, Nepal
Friday, January 04, 2008Day 6 Morning is free and easy for us to do some shopping @ Boudanath. The market stalls around Boudhanath, the center of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal, are an excellent place to search for thangka paintings, Buddha statues, antigue items prayer flags. souvenirs and many other items. Shopping here, you need to do a lot of negotiation on the price to get a good buy. It is better for you change to Nepal Rupee to do your shopping. USD is widely accepted here.
