Kathmandu

Boudhanath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal

This was a difficult puzzle. Having 300 pieces and having so much detail meant there were few visual cues as to which pieces connected. I ended up having to search for a spot for about half of them.

Boudha Stupa gave birth to the origins of Tibetan Buddhism. Its massive mandala makes it the largest spherical stupa in Nepal and one of the largest in the world. - from Wikipedia

I was thinking that there were some other famous songs that mentioned Kathmandu. The only other famous one I found was the tune by Cat Stevens. LYRICS found 209 other tunes. I listened to several, but nothing rang a bell. 

There was one tune that mentions 'Kingsley in Kathmandu' and that leads me to the Kingsley Holgate Foundation Facebook page that mentions the 'Japanese-built 'BP Highway' or Sindhuli road'.

The BP Highway is a highway in eastern Nepal that links Kathmandu Valley with the Eastern Terai region. It is named after the former leader of Nepal, BP Koirala. The construction of this road started in November 1996 and completed in 2015. It was built with a grant from the Government of Japan. - from Wikipedia
