Getting there & away
You can approach Swayambhunath by taxi (Rs 80), by bicycle or as part of an easy stroll from Kathmandu.
Taxis can drop you at the bottom of the eastern stairway or at the car park atop the western side. The latter is closer to the stupa but the steep eastern pilgrim stairway offers the more interesting approach.
Safa tempo No 20 (Rs 7) shuttles between Swayambhunath's eastern stairway and Kathmandu's Sundhara district (near the main post office).
