Kopan is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery situated on the hill behind the Bouddhanath Stupa. Located at the top of Kopan Hill, the monastery is home to over 300 Tibetan Buddhist monks. Dominated by a magnificent Bodhi tree, it was once the home of the astrologer to the King of Nepal. The Kopan Monastery also offers a panoramic view of the town of Boudha below and the spectacular Himalayan mountain range.
