About Trip:
Birth Place of Lord Buddha Tour takes you to the sacred place of Lumbini where Lord Buddha is believed to have born in 543 BC. The sacred land of Lumbini lies in Kapilvastu district in the western Terai region of Nepal. Lord Buddha is highly regarded as the apostle of peace, nonviolence, and compassion. The sacred region is also a meditation hub for numerous monks and nuns from around the globe. Lumbini offers not only religious pilgrimage but also carries with it the majestic beauty of nature. Lumbini is listed in the UNESCO world heritage site. Thousands of tourists pay homage to this sacred land of Buddha every year.
Our Birth Place of Lord Buddha tour commences with a scenic drive or flight to Bhairhawa. Upon reaching Bhairahawa, we will drive to the birthplace of Lord Buddha Lumbini. We will spend two days in Lumbini exploring the monuments, monasteries, Bihars, Maya Devi temple, beautiful peace garden and other attractions of this religious site. Mayadevi Temple is the center of attraction of Lumbini. The temple has a stone image of Mayadevi giving birth to Buddha as she holds onto a branch of a tree. The Ashok Pillar, that signifies Lumbini as a birthplace of Lord Buddha is another attraction of this place. You will also see the remnants of ancient Stupas and monasteries all over the area. The recently constructed international monastic zone is yet another attraction of this place. After exploring the birthplace of Lord Buddha for two days, we will drive back to Kathmandu and formally conclude our tour.
