Overview

Nepal Birth Place of Lord Buddha

Nepal, the land where sacred Lord Buddha was born, has been a holy destination for pilgrims and tourists alike. Born as Siddhartha Gautama in the 6th century BCE, the teachings of Buddha inspired millions around the world. His birthplace, Lumbini, attracts people from various cultural backgrounds who come to experience firsthand the roots of Buddhism.

Explore the Buddhist Circuit Tour
Buddhist Circuit Tour allows a deep journey into Nepal’s long and cherished history with Buddhism. Visitors on this journey of religion will be taken to view many of the most famous monasteries and stupas, including:

Boudhanath Stupa This is one of the largest and most revered stupas in the world; Boudhanath is a busy center of Tibetan Buddhism, strewn with prayer flags and circled by colorful monasteries.

Swayambhunath, or Monkey Temple, sits atop a hill and offers incredible views of Kathmandu Valley. The spot is populated by large quantities of monkeys. It is a place of spirituality combined with beautiful nature.

Kopan Monastery Kopan is a quiet retreat for meditation and teachings, a haven for those in search of a deeper understanding of Buddhist philosophy and practice.

Visit Namo Buddha
Namo Buddha is a place steeped in legend and forms the highlight of the tour. It is a holy site regarded by the compassionate Buddhist priest as one that sacrificed his own body to feed a starving tigress and her cubs and is known as “Hail to the Buddha.” Visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquil atmosphere, observing the daily activities of monks who go about their prayer and rituals. The spiritual energy here fosters a sense of peace and reflection.

Immerse in the Culture
The Buddhist Circuit Tour is more about feeling transported into the heart of Buddhist culture than a sightseeing tour. Every location serves up a bucket full of memorable moments that will long last well after your visit for a better connection to the teachings of Buddha and the serene lifestyle of the monastic community.

Review

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.
