Trip to Kathmandu-Buddhism Pilgrimage (Dec20181Jan2019)-Day 4

Day 4, 29th December 2018.
There was a minor change of plan, we went to Swayambhunath Stupa first. For me, this is again a second visit. I visited here the first time I came two years ago, and for this visit again is to circumambulate the stupa. Then we went to the site where Lord Manjushuri Buddha used to give his sermon, and as I understood, until this stage of time, it is still "visited" by Lord Manjushuri Buddha, its disciples and also .....

                                         Our breakfast-  bread is good

Not sure if the pineapple is locally grown, but it tastes good and delicious

                                         Lord Manjushuri Buddha had given sermon before

After this, we went for a late lunch. Just a note here, all our meals throughout were 100% vegetarian, nothing else.

 Subsequently, after lunch we went to Naropa and Tilopa caves for another visit and prayers.
We need a little bit of climbing uphill and downhill before we reached the caves.
