The Great Stupa at Boudha(nath) in Kathmandu, Nepal is one of the most holy sites for Buddhist pilgrimage, reputed to contain the relics of the Buddha prior to the historic Shakyamuni Buddha.

Boudha is one of two large Tibetan communities in Kathmandu, the other being at Swayambu (where there is another large stupa).
