Juul in Boudha, Nepal [03:06]
The Buddhist stupa of Boudhanath dominates the skyline. The ancient Stupa is one of the largest in the world. The influx of large populations of refugees from Tibet has seen the construction of over 50 Tibetan Gompas (Monasteries) around Boudhanath. As of 1979, Boudhanath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along with Swayambhunath, it is one of the most popular tourist sites in the Kathmandu area. The Stupa is on the ancient trade route from Tibet which enters the Kathmandu Valley by the village of Sankhu in the northeast corner, passes by Boudnath Stupa to the ancient and smaller stupa of Cā-bahī (often called 'Little Boudnath'). It then turns directly south, heading over the Bagmati river to Patan - thus bypassing the main city of Kathmandu (which was a later foundation).[1] Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayers here for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet in the 1950s, many decided to live around Bouddhanath. The Stupa is said to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha.

A trip to Rasuwa [13:05]
On 16th October Stephen and I (Macartan) traveled to the area of Rasuwa, 10 hours north of Kathmandu, in Nepal. The main objective of the trip was for Stephen to visit most of the children that Umbrella had reintegrated with their families and communities in April of this year, before he returns to live in Ireland after 3 years working with The Umbrella Foundation in Nepal. It also gave me an opportunity to visit the schools in the areas and discover this beautiful area so that Umbrella could send teaching volunteers to the area in the near future. Over the course of our week in Rasuwa we biked and trekked a lot! However, the huge effort was defiantly worth it, as it enabled us to visit these kids in their natural home environments, where they belong. A trip to remember.
