Taragaon Museum

The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kathmandu, Nepal, is an urban five-star resort located near the Boudhanath stupa. The hotel, opened in 2000, is built in the traditional Newar architecture on 37 acres of land. It is operated by Taragaon Regency Hotels, and employs 400 workers. The hotel was built under public-private partnership with 40% public ownership and 60% private. It recorded losses for 22 years, during which the public ownership of the hotel shrunk to 9%, and later began registering record profits. The public land on which the hotel was built was in the process of being privatised at extremely cheap rates. Parliamentary committees began investigating possible financial irregularities by the private partners, including the possibility that Taragaon Regency Hotels deliberately showed losses in order to illegally gain ownership stake on the hotel by decreasing the share prices and buying them back cheaply, while deterring investment from others. The Auditor General's office and the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority also investigated the activities of Taragaon Regency Hotels. As of 2020, Taragaon Development Committee, the entity representing public interests in the hotel, is attempting to reclaim the land into public ownership.

Bouddha (Nepali: बौद्धनाथ; Nepal bhasa: खास्ति चैत्य; Standard Tibetan: བྱ་རུང་ཁ་ཤོར།, romanized: Jarung Khashor, Wylie: bya rung kha shor), also known as Boudhanath, Khasti Chaitya and Khāsa Chaitya is a stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. Located about 11 km (6.8 mi) from the center and northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu, its massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal and the world. The stupa is said to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha. It is located on the ancient trade route from Tibet which enters the Kathmandu Valley by the village of Sankhu in the northeast corner and continues to the ancient and smaller stupa of Chabahil named Charumati Stupa (often called "Little Boudhanath"). It then turns directly south, heading over the Bagmati River to Lalitpur, bypassing the main city of Kathmandu (which was built later). Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayers at Boudha Stupa for many centuries. Following the 1959 Tibetan uprising, a large number of the Tibetan refugees migrated to Nepal and settled down around Boudhanath. The influx of the Tibetan refugees has seen the construction of over 50 gompas (Budhhist monasteries) around Boudha. As of 1979, Boudha Stupa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along with Swayambhu, it is one of the most popular tourist sites in the Kathmandu area.
