Tour Details
Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia and is bordered by China and India. It is located in the Himalayas and contains eight of the world's ten highest peaks.Nepal has the greatest altitude change of any location on Earth. The lowlands are at sea level and the mountains of the Himalaya are the tallest in the world.Nepal may mostly be known as a mountain lover's paradise but a visit will reveal charming hill villages, tranquil Buddhist monasteries, ancient Hindu temples and a unique cultural lifestyle.
Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, is set in a valley surrounded by the Himalayan mountains. At the heart of the old city’s mazelike alleys is Durbar Square, which becomes frenetic during Indra Jatra, a religious festival featuring masked dances. Many of the city's historic sites were damaged or destroyed by a 2015 earthquake. Durbar Square's palace, Hanuman Dhoka, and Kasthamandap, a wooden Hindu temple, are being rebuilt.
Lumbini Tour is the birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha, the Messenger of Peace. Lord Buddha was born in Nepal in 623 B.C. As a prince, his mother, Maya Devi, was going to her maternal town. The Lumbini Tour is one of the four holy places of Buddhism.
It is located in the Kapilvastu district of Nepal, about 255 km west of Kathmandu. The Lumbini pilgrimage tour also displays humanity’s tremendous archaeological triumph.
Lumbini contains 62 archaeological sites that exhibit different events during and after Buddha’s life. UNESCO has declared it a World Heritage Site. However, the Mayadevi temple is a significant ancient heritage site that houses the old idol of Mayadevi, the Birthmarker stone, and the ruins from the 3rd to the 7th century B.C.
The Birth Marker stone precisely marks the birthplace of Lord Buddha. Emperor Ashoka inscribed and erected the Ashoka Pillar in 249 BC behind and to the west of the Mayadevi Temple.
The pillar and inscription are the testaments of Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha. The holy and ancient Pushkirini Lake is situated near the Ashoka Pillar. It is believed that Mayadevi had bathed in the lake before giving birth to Lord Buddha.
The Lumbini Museum preserves historical artifacts and has an extensive collection of Mauryan and Kushana coins, religious manuscripts, terracotta fragments, and stone and metal sculptures related to Buddhism.
The eternal World Peace flame in the center of the Lumbini garden, which flows continuously 24 hours a day, is also a significant attraction. During the Lumbini Tour, Tilaurakot, Gotihawa, Kudan, Niglihara, Devdaha, and Sagarhawa are other famous religious and archaeological sites.
