You've read correctly. This card shows Swayambhunath, a monastery in Nepal.

The monastry its famous for the numerous monkeys living near it. R. has told me that they love to steal stuff so if you visit the place, take care of your backpack. And of your shows. And your pants. You really wouldn't want to arrive there without pants.
The flags have got mantras written on them, they are believed to be chanted every time
the wind blows them.
