Kathmandu Lumbini Tour

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.
