Lumbini Tour

Overview

The Lumbini Tour takes travelers to one of the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage destinations in the world — Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, located in Rupandehi District of Nepal. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lumbini holds immense spiritual, historical, and archaeological importance.

According to Buddhist tradition, it was here in 623 BCE that Queen Mayadevi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama, who later attained enlightenment and became the Buddha. Today, Lumbini is a peaceful sanctuary visited by devotees, monks, scholars, and spiritual explorers from across the globe.

Key highlights of the Lumbini Tour include:

• Mayadevi Temple – the exact birthplace of Buddha with the Nativity Stone
• Sacred Pushkarini Pond – where Queen Mayadevi bathed before giving birth
• Ashoka Pillar – erected by Emperor Ashoka with inscriptions marking Buddha’s birthplace
• Eternal Flame & Sacred Garden – symbolizing world peace
• International Monastic Zone – monasteries built by various countries showcasing diverse Buddhist architecture
• Lumbini Museum – preserving artifacts related to Buddha's life and teachings

The serene atmosphere, chanting of monks, and meditation spaces offer an ideal setting for spiritual reflection and inner peace. Lumbini is an essential stop on the Buddhist pilgrimage circuit, connecting Bodhgaya, Sarnath, and Kushinagar in India.
