Lumbini Tour - 6 Days - 6 Days

Lumbini Tour

Lumbini is located in the Rupandehi district of western Nepal, which is the birthplace of Lord Buddha. The Lumbini Tour is the most popular pilgrimage site for Buddhists in the world. Buddhism is known as a peaceful and calm religion around the world. Nowadays, many people are wishing to follow Buddhist teachings and beliefs. However, the lord Buddha was born in 563 BCE as a royal family prince. Some scholars wrote that Buddha was born in 624 BCE. Buddha was born in the Lumbini kingdom in Nepal. There is a belief that Lord Buddha took seven steps immediately after his birth. Queen Maya Devi and King Suddhodana, his mother and father, tried to raise him in a good environment, but since childhood, Lord Buddha was different from ordinary children. First, Lord Buddha was named Siddhartha Gautama, who later became Lord Buddha after several years of sagehood and enlightenment.

Moreover, Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, is known as the Light of Asia. It is located in Terai, about 275 km southwest of Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Lumbini falls in the list of World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO in 1997 AD. In the Lumbini Tour, you will get a chance to visit various Buddhist monasteries like Nepalese, Chinese, Thai, etc. Lumbini is a beautiful place to see if you want to learn and be one with Buddha and his teachings. The major attraction of Lumbini is the Sacred Garden, the Maya Devi Temple to the west. Emperor Ashoka put up the Ashoka pillar in 249 BC to honour his visit to the holy site.

The words on it in Brahmi script confirm Lumbini as the birthplace of Buddha in 623 B.C.; we can also see the sanctified pond Puskarni to the south of the Pillar where Queen Mayadevi took a bath just before giving birth to the Buddha. However, the Lumbini tour offers you a visit to the spiritual and archaeological sites of Tilaurakot, Gotihawa, Kudan, Siddhartha Nagar, Niglihara, and Sagarhawam Aurorakot. Hence, the Tilaurakot is the ancient Kapilvastu, the capital of the Shakya kingdom. So, it is believed that Buddha spent his first 29 years there. Then one night he left his palace without concern for his family. Kudan was built by King Sudhodhan as the space for the Buddha and his followers after the Buddha’s enlightenment.
