Lumbini Tour overview

The Lumbini Tour is a deeply spiritual journey to the birthplace of Lord Buddha, located in the Rupandehi district of Nepal, near the Indian border. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lumbini is one of the holiest pilgrimage destinations for Buddhists worldwide.

This tour not only takes you to the sacred Maya Devi Temple, where Queen Maya Devi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama, but also immerses you in the tranquil surroundings of monasteries, meditation gardens, and historical landmarks. A visit to Tilaurakot, the palace where Buddha spent his early life as a prince, and Gotihawa, believed to be the true birthplace of Gautam Buddha, adds even deeper spiritual significance to this journey.
