Boudhanath, another of my favourite temple areas in Kathmandu, a place where all the senses are stimulated:

Boudhanath is one of Nepal’s great Buddhist temple complexes. Initially built on a significant trade route between Tibet and Nepal it dates from around AD 400 and has been a place of rest and devotion for Tibetans since that time. More recently, since the 1950s, the area has become a place of refuge for Tibetans who help considerably to maintain and develop the complex.

It is as much a “tourist magnet” as Swayambhu (the Monkey Temple) though without the 300+ steps to reach it! Selfies abound!
