Lumbini Private Tour
Description
Embark on a journey to explore one of the most revered spiritual sites globally with this exclusive tour of Lumbini. Immerse yourself in the rich history of Buddha and uncover the significance of his birthplace.
Description
At the designated time, we will collect you from your accommodation to kick off our tailored exploration of Lumbini. Are you prepared to visit the birthplace of Buddha?
We will first visit the heart of the site: the Maya Devi Temple. Recognized as one of Nepal's most sacred pilgrimage locations, this temple marks the spot where Queen Mayadevi is believed to have brought forth her son, Prince Siddhartha Gautama, now known as Buddha, over 2,500 years ago.
As we navigate through the temple grounds, we will stroll across the expansive gardens and observe the sacred pond, home to the commemorative stone that marks the exact location where Buddhism's founder first entered the world.
Subsequently, we will proceed to the monastic zone, where an array of monasteries established by Buddhist communities from various nations can be found. Here, we'll visit the Chinese, Korean, German, French, and Nepalese monasteries, showcasing their shared values along with their unique characteristics.
After this exploration, we will pause for an hour and a half, allowing you to enjoy lunch at one of Lumbini's restaurants. You'll be delighted by the variety of Nepalese dishes available!
Post-lunch, we will resume our journey, visiting the monasteries from Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma. To conclude this profound and fulfilling experience, we will take in the beauty of the World Peace Pagoda.
We will bring this enlightening tour to a close, bidding farewell at our starting point approximately 7 hours after we began.
