Swayambhunath is a buddhist temple beautifully located on the top of a hill in the north west of Kathmandu in Nepal. 

The temple is also known as monkey temple after the monkees that live on the hill. Swayambunath togheter with the Boudhanath stupa  are the most import stupas for Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. The main shrine is a massive white dome with a golden "crown" and big buddha eyes painted on it. Because of its color and hilltop location you can see Swayambhunath from miles away.
