Lumbini Tour

Since, Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, is known as the Light of Asia. It is located in Terai about 250 km southwest of Kathmandu, the capital city. Lumbini falls in the list of World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO in 1997 AD. In Lumbini Tour you will get a chance to visit various Buddhist monasteries like- Nepalese, Chinese, Thai, etc. Lumbini is a beautiful place to see if you want to learn and be one with Buddha and his teachings. The major attraction of Lumbini is the Sacred Garden- the Mayadevi Temple to the west. Emperor Ashoka put up the Ashoka pillar in 249 BC to honour his visit to the holy site.

The words on it in Brahmi script confirm Lumbini as the birthplace of Buddha in 623 B.C., we can also see the sanctified pond Puskarni to the south of the Pillar where Queen Mayadevi took a bath just before giving birth to the Buddha. However, Lumbini tour offers you a visit to the spiritual and archeological sites of Tilaurakot, Gotihawa, Kudan, Siddharthanagar, Niglihara, and Sagarhawam Aurorakot. Hence, The Tilaurakot is the ancient Kapilavastu, the capital of Shakyas. So, It is believed that Buddha spent his first 29 years there. Kudan was built by King Sudhodhan as the space for the Buddha and his followers after Buddha’s enlightenment.
