We had a great time with our guide Shanker, who was very knowledgable and well informed. The Kopa monastery is a wonderful peaceful place with monks that live in of all ages. Shanker explained the many paintings and meanings and give us time to absorb the place. I thought it was the most beautiful, peaceful place. Next we went to the Bodthunath Stupa which again Shanker guided us around with his extensive knowledge of the place. He also took us to see Thangka artists and mandala paintings which were fascinating. All in all we had a great tour with Shanker as our guide, we would reccomend him for the tour.

This tour was so educational and enlightening. Our guide, Shankar taught us so many meaningful tenants of Buddhism and cultural history of Nepal. Boudanath Stup and the surrounding monasteries were stunning. We also got to see the remarkable process of thanka painting-breathtaking!
