Lumbini Tour – A Sacred Journey to the Birthplace of Lord Buddha
Escape the hustle of daily life and step into serenity with our Lumbini Tour, a spiritual and cultural experience in the birthplace of Lord Buddha. Nestled in the southern plains of Nepal, Lumbini is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the four major Buddhist pilgrimage sites, along with Bodhgaya, Sarnath, and Kushinagar.
This sacred land invites pilgrims, history lovers, and travelers seeking peace and enlightenment. Whether you're drawn by faith, fascinated by Buddhist heritage, or simply looking to experience Nepal's spiritual heart, Lumbini offers a transformative journey.
The spiritual heart of Lumbini, this temple marks the exact spot where Queen Maya Devi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama. A sacred marker stone and the ruins of ancient structures make this a must-visit site.
Erected by Emperor Ashoka during his pilgrimage in 249 BC, this historic pillar confirms Lumbini as the birthplace of Lord Buddha. It stands as a symbol of devotion and historical validation.
Surrounding the Maya Devi Temple, this tranquil garden is filled with ancient ruins, stupas, and calm walkways that evoke Buddha’s early life.
Built to promote peace and harmony, this stunning white pagoda lies a short walk from the main complex. It offers sweeping views and a serene sunset experience.
Located near the World Peace Pagoda, this wetland area is home to rare bird species, including cranes. It’s a peaceful spot for nature lovers and birdwatchers.
Explore a variety of monasteries built by Buddhist communities from across the globe—Thailand, Japan, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka—each reflecting distinct architectural styles and philosophies.
Discover the rich history of Buddhism through a collection of manuscripts, relics, and artifacts that trace the spread of Buddha’s teachings across Asia and beyond.
Extend your spiritual quest to nearby sites like Tilaurakot (the ancient capital of the Shakya kingdom where Buddha spent his early years), Kudan, Gotihawa, and Niglihawa—all significant in Buddha's life journey.
