Boudhanath Stupa, an iconic Buddhist site in Kathmandu, Nepal.

The date of construction of the Svayambhunath stupa, its origins steeped in myth, is unknown. According to the inscriptions on an ancient and damaged stone tablet at Svayambhunath, King Vrishadeva (ca. 400 CE) was the first to build a place of worship on the site. His grandson, King Manadeva I (ca. 464-505) may have made some additions. The Muslim invasion of 1349 undid all the pious building work, the marauding Muslim warriors dismantling every kafir (infidel) sanctuary that they came across. An inscription at Svayambhunath records the date of the Muslim invasion as 20 November 1349, in all probability a very accurate account. After the raids Svayambhunath was restored, and most of the buildings seen today are from the post-invasion period. Swayambhunath is an ancient religious complex atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city. It is also known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in parts of the temple in the north-west. The Tibetan name for the sit

Phousi, a rocky 100-metre (330ft) hill, dominates the centre of Luang Prabang. At its foot stands Wat Paa Huak, a temple featuring well-preserved 19th-century murals showing Mekong river scenes. From this temple 328 steps wind up the forested slopes to the 24-metre (79ft) That Chom Si on the summit, which has an impressive gilded stupa in classical Lao form, as well as a rusting anti-aircraft gun. Luang Prabang was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. Until the communist takeover in 1975, it was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos. The city is nowadays a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
