That's why we strive to preserve our strong traditions. That's why we also take measures to protect our natural resources, setting up national parks, for example.

Nonstop action is the name of the game here.
While we worked, the ever-watching eyes of Buddha, painted in bright colors atop the stupa, looked out at us from behind lines of colorful prayer flags. Bouddhanath is a holy place.

At Pashupatinath Temple, one the most scared Hindu sites in all the world, we saw devotees taking a dip in the holy Bishnu River that runs along side the temple.
