Notes

General Note:
Chortens (stupas) contain sacred relics and are sites of prayer and meditation in Buddhism. While chortens can be and are built anywhere near a settlement, they are usually built at the entrance to a settlement or on a path leading into the settlement. These chortens along the trekking trail to the Everest region have been extensively destroyed.
