Boudha, otherwise called Boudhanath, Khasi Chaitya and Khāsa Chaitya is a stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. Situated around 11 km from the middle and northeastern edges of Kathmandu, its enormous mandala makes it one of the biggest round stupas in Nepal and the world.

The inundation of huge populaces of exiles from Tibet has seen the development of more than 50 gompas (Tibetan religious community) around Boudha. Starting in 1979, Boudha Stupa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Alongside Swayambhu, it is one of the most famous traveller destinations in the Kathmandu region.

The stupa is on the old shipping lane from Tibet which enters the Kathmandu Valley by the town of Sankhu in the upper east corner and proceeds to the antiquated and more modest stupa of Chabahil named Charumati Stupa (frequently called "Little Boudhanath"). It then turns straightforwardly south, heading over the Bagmati River to Lalitpur, bypassing the fundamental city of Kathmandu (which was assembled later).[2] Tibetan traders have rested and offered petitions at Boudha Stupa for a long time. Whenever exiles entered Nepal from Tibet during the 1950s, many chose to live around Boudhanath. The stupa is said to bury the remaining parts of Kassapa Buddha.
