Located in the Terai region, approximately 250 km south-west of Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, Lumbini holds profound historical and religious importance. Gautama Buddha, known as the light of Asia, the apostle of peace, compassion, non-violence, and brotherhood, was born under a sal tree in Lumbini during the full moon day of Baisakh in 623 BC. This sacred place remains the epicenter of Buddhism, attracting pilgrims and seekers from around the world.
During your Lumbini tour, you'll have the opportunity to explore various Buddhist monasteries representing different cultures, such as Nepalese, Chinese, Thai, and more. Immerse yourself in the teachings of Buddhism and gain insightful knowledge throughout this enlightening journey.
Lumbini's significance was long overlooked and neglected, but recent exploration and excavation efforts revealed the presence of a remarkable brick and sandstone sculpture within the temple, depicting the moment of Buddha's birth. Today, numerous beautiful Buddhist temples built by various countries stand tall in Lumbini, underscoring its international significance.
As part of the Lumbini Buddha tour, you'll also visit Tilaurakot, where Buddha spent the first 29 years of his life in Kapilvastu. Additionally, we'll include visits to some popular tour destinations in Kathmandu, such as Swayambhunath Stupa and Boudhanath Stupa, further enhancing the memorable experience of your Lumbini tour with Kathmandu.
