It has nothing but the Stupa, the void prompts you to look deeper inside and feel. A very very strange calmness, I have never experienced at any other spiritual locations never came across earlier. More

great place to remember the buddhist heritage. It is easy to get there, through nice countryside, the site is pleasant, clear, has got surprising monuments, carvings, the setting is great. You need to spend some time on that hill, to be taken by the magic of it, its diversity, its significance. well worth it More

Totally amazing, excellent value and not full of scam merchants. Relax, take a snack, lots of photos and soak up the atmosphere. Watch out for the monkey troop, they can get a bit close if they fancy your lunch. More
