Boudhanath..................... I found this souvenir shop after visiting many in the complex. Prices are fixed in the stores in Boudhanath (so please don't bargain here) and Pasang's store had the absolute best prices (and the warmest, friendliest smile) *Put your mouse over the photo for directions to her excellent shop* |
