We all have visited some places at some point of our life which were unforgettable. I too have visited many places but one certain place which i visited and will never forget is Swayambhunath Stupa. 
I have visited some places in Nepal and even though Swayambhunath is not very far from where I live, it sure was really memorable. I remember, my finals had just finished and there was not much to do and my mom suddenly planned to visit Swayambhunath. It was sudden but we all agreed and went to visit because it had been really long since we last visited the stupa. We got on the bus and off we went. My mom bought some toys for my brother that day which he lost on the same day. We clicked some photos of places which we thought were beautiful. The same day we went to visit Swayambhu was the same day the President of Nepal decided to visit the area. So obviously there was a crowd everywhere and we were not allowed to go to some places because the president was there. It felt a bit unfair but we said nothing and enjoyed the view. Everything was going well. We saw some monkeys and visited places I  never knew existed. It was  fun and I felt happy as it felt good to travel with my family. Until, I realized the phone which my sister and I used to share was not with us. It was lost. The phone was gone. That mobile phone was something I cherished the most at that  time but it got lost.. I had kept it in my bag but someone took it because there was so much crowd it was understandable for something to be lost but I could not accept it. The trip was memorable but it is a bad experience which I will never forget.
