It is three kilometres west of Kathmandu city and is situated on a hillock about 77m. above the level of the Kathmandu Valley. ShelleyVictoria, BC CanadaLogin to vote

"Swaym" meaning self "bhu" meaning earth and "nath" meaning lord combines Swaymbhunath which means a lord self created from the earth. Swyabhunath is so old that its history is not found. However, it is belived to be older than 2000B.C. the two eyes facing on four sides of the valley are symbols of justice and peace, the nose or "1" sign is a symbol for unity. located in Kathmandu, one of the UNESCOS' word heritage sites is more than 300m high from the base.
