Overview
Explore the Birthplace of Gautam Buddha on the Kathmandu Lumbini Tour – Nepal 7 Days Tour Package
A Historical Delight (Included In Our Nepal 7 Days Tour Package)
Situated in southern Nepal near the Indian border, Lumbini is a historical delight for travelers.
Surrounded by more than 100 ancient monuments, temples, and international monasteries, Lumbini is like an open museum.
UNESCO listed Lumbini as a World Heritage Site in 1997. It became a core pilgrimage site after Buddha’s teachings spread worldwide.
As part of your unforgettable Nepal 7 Days Tour Package, immerse yourself in the rich Buddhist heritage of this sacred place.
Diverse Buddhist Heritage
You can visit over 30 Buddhist monasteries built by countries from around the world, including China, Japan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Germany, and France.
Each monastery showcases unique architecture, giving you the chance to admire diverse international heritage in one place.
These monasteries organize religious and spiritual programs throughout the year, so you can join and experience various Buddhist traditions.
Soak up the peaceful atmosphere and don’t miss the Maya Devi Temple, which dates back more than 2,200 years.
Birthplace of Buddha
This temple marks the exact spot where Queen Maya Devi, feeling labor pains, held onto a tree branch and gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama around 563 BC.
Next to the temple is a sacred pool and garden, both deeply connected to the life of Gautam Buddha.
Sacred Sites
The Sacred Garden is said to have been a beautiful garden in Buddha’s time and still retains its charm and beauty.
-
The garden is just a short walk or rickshaw ride from the main road.
-
Inside the garden, you’ll find the Ashoka Pillars, which commemorate Ashoka’s visit around 249 BC, the year he converted to Buddhism.
These inscriptions are the oldest found in Nepal. The history and spiritual importance make the Ashoka Pillars a must-visit for history, religious, and architecture enthusiasts. This site is included in our Nepal 7 Days Tour Package.
Explore the Sacred Garden, once a breathtaking oasis in Buddha’s time. Take a moment to enjoy its serenity during your Nepal tour package.
The Sacred Pond
The sacred pond existed before Siddhartha Gautam was born. It’s where the infant prince received his purification bath and was also the royal bath spot for Queen Maya Devi.
Located just outside the main temple compound and easily reachable by rickshaw, you’ll also find the gleaming white World Peace Pagoda.
Built by Japanese Buddhists, this pagoda is a symbol of tranquility. It is the counterpart to the Flame of Peace monument in Okinawa, Japan.
Nearby Wetlands and Wildlife
The area surrounding the World Peace Pagoda covers 6 square kilometers of wetlands, now a popular sanctuary for cranes.
Visitors often spot rare cranes and large blue bulls in this peaceful habitat. Climb the tower nearby for excellent views over the wetlands.
A Journey Through Time with Our Nepal 7 Days Tour Package
Once part of the ancient Koliya Kingdom, founded by the Shakya dynasty during the late Vedic period, Lumbini is now a laid-back town.
Its closed culture invites quiet, reflective moments rarely found in travel.

One Week in Nepal With Tour Guide
I recently spent one week in Nepal and Tour Guide Team Trek provided an extraordinary service with an itinerary suited to my needs and interests, including Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara, detailed cultural and historical explanations when visiting different sites in Kathmandu, and above all, a customer and people-oriented approach to all activities, meals, shopping, etc. Kumar Dahal was my tour guide and it was a pleasure for me to have him showing me his native Nepal. Kumar has excellent English speaking skills and he is willing to take the extra mile to help you have the best trip to this beautiful country. I recommend him and Nepal Tour Guide Team Trek wholeheartedly as the best agency to fulfill your expectations.

Memorable 4 Days With Tour Guide
My wife and I had the privilege to enjoy a 4 days long private tour with tourguideinnepal.com. Everything was spot on. We had a private driver and a private tour guide for the entire trip, both extremely polite. I can 100% recommend them to others also. I also found their pricing more than fair. Kumar runs the company, he was very helpful when we put together the custom itinerary. Our tour guide was Suvash, probably the most caring guy I’ve ever met. Thanks for the lifetime experience guys!

Two Nights Was Awesome
I only had two nights in Kathmandu and primarily wanted to do a chopper flight around Everest as well as see as much of Kathmandu as possible. Kumar was amazing and looked after me like family. I did a lot of research and Kumar booked the Chopper flight for me and answered any and all questions I had leading up to it. The Everest day was truly one of the best and awe inspiring days of my life. Kumar also took us to all of the must see sights in Kathmandu. He listened to our needs as well as read our body language for what we required. You must have a guide in places like Kathmandu to understand the history and not miss anything and you won’t regret using Kumar – he is the best!!

AMAZING NEPAL EXPERIENCE WITH Nepal Tour Guide Team
We had the privilege exploring KTM valley with Kumar. He has a way of showing you all facets of Nepal as nobody else will. Not only does he know his country like no other, he also has a special way of connecting you with his culture , people, customs and more like a real tour guide can only do. He is a humanitarian, a good spirit, with a great sense of humor and a heart of gold, someone who CARES about his country and people. You will love the way he guides you and shows you his country. Anything from local foods, to extensive history or just small talk about politics and social issues, Kumar is happy to discuss all. He showed us a side of Nepal, we would have never experienced with a larger bus group. He customized our program to our liking, the way we wanted it, patiently answered all of our questions always friendly , attentive and genuine. We can highly recommend Kumar as your private guide. I have traveled the world extensively (please see my other reviews on tripadvisor) and know the difference between ‘just a guide’ and a true tour director who LOVES his job and connecting with people from all walks of life. Kumar is great in what he does and his personality will make you like him the day you meet. We are still friends and should we return to Nepal, there is no doubt in our minds that we will see him again, not only as our guide but also to reunite with a great friend and human being.
Two Weeks In Nepal
We came to Nepal for just under two weeks in March 2017. My husband and I decided to bring my mom for her 60th birthday as it was her lifelong dream to visit Nepal. But weren’t sure what to do while we were there! Luckily, we found Nepal Tour Guide Team, and after a few emails to Kumar, he set up the whole trip for us. Our trip was incredible, and Kumar was wonderful. From Kathmandu to Chitwan, Pokhara and back, Kumar showed us the whole country, and his knowledge was second to none. He arranged all the hotels, the car and driver, the things we did, showed us great places to eat and most importantly, provided great friendship and conversation along the way! We laughed the whole trip and had a wonderful time. The mountains were beautiful, Chitwan was amazing, and the lakeside at Pokhara was definitely my mom’s favorite part. We’re still positive we had the best tour guide and the most skilled driver in the entire country. Kumar is an incredible person and we made a lifelong friend. Even after coming home, we continue to keep in touch, chatting and making video calls. We can’t wait to go back!
