After China occupied Tibet, many Tibetans fled to India along with the Dalai Lama. Many Tibetans continue to leave China, and have settled in Nepal, just over the border. The Tibetans in Kathmandu now live largely around the major Buddhist temple complexes, so the monks you see here are Tibetan. The little boys are walking around the stupa spinning prayer wheels, a common feature in all Buddhist temples. Spinning a prayer wheel releases good karma for the world, and supposedly any meritmaking activity at this temple is 16 billion times more powerful than at other temples, so those boys must be making this world a pretty great place.
