Swayambhunath is a Buddhist temple in the west of Kathmandu. It is a World Heritage Site. The temple is located on top of a small hill, you have to climb a long, steep staircase to visit.

Preparing to go up the steep stairs. It was quite hard. I could see a big stupa from the middle of the stairs, and I felt I could reach it soon, but it was just an illusion. There were about 400 steps. It was not so easy to reach the top. I was eager to get there as soon as possible, but my feet were not moving lightly.
