Chilancho, Kirtipur

It’s hidden 15th century Buddhist stupa built by king Ashoka on top of kirtipur hill just few km away on the outskirts of ktm valley. Only small taxi and bike can get up to the gate of stupa. Heavy vehicles can’t pass through the alley ways.

The ancient Buddhist religious site to the east south direction of centre Kirtipur. Chilancho meaning a hill where immortal God resides. The peaceful environment and beautiful stupa architecture captivate the heart of travellers. The centre stupa have 4 other small stupas in it's premises.

Exotic place. I just explored this place after long. I am regular visitor over Kritipur area but visiting Chilancho is my very first time. such a splendid beauty captivates the visitors with its serene environment and wider area with the stupa like that of swyambhu. Must go place. It's just 5 minutes walk or 2 minutes ride from bhag bhairab temple. In order to reach Chilancho, you need to see one pokhari/pond Infront of Bhag bhairab temple, then take first left with the alleys and here you go. Explore it.

Damn good place. The dawn time of this place is soo good. I wish it had less houses nearby but nonetheless the place is still very pretty. 😍

Chilancho Stupa, according to locals was built by Emperor Asoka. However, the architecture style and lack of grandeur suggests that it was probably built later. However, it’s an interesting place to visit if you like old places. There’s not any inscription or much information of this stupa. Getting there is a bit of a problem, coz some locals are not aware of it.
