Lumbini Pilgrimage Tour

A visit to the holy land of Lumbini is more than just a spiritual journey—it is a deep dive into the excellent annals of history and culture. The Ashokan Pillar, erected by the Mauryan emperor Ashoka during his pilgrimage in 249 BCE, bears inscriptions given to the site's old heritage. Adjacent to the Maya Devi Temple is the Puskarini Pond, believed to be where Queen Maya Devi took the famed ritual bath before giving birth to the all-knowing and ever-revered Buddha. The archaeological remains of ancient stupas and monasteries are scattered throughout the area, providing glimpses of early Buddhist practices. The Lumbini Museum further enriches the experience by collecting artifacts and manuscripts detailing the great Buddha's evolution. Beyond its historical and spiritual importance, Lumbini also has global peace and harmony, making it a great destination of impressive contemplation and inspiration for those seeking enlightenment and total peace.

Lumbini Pilgrimage Tour
Lumbini, which is wonderfully placed in the lovely state of Rupandehi district of Nepal, holds a timeless and great significance as the birthplace of the legendary and founder of the Buddhist dharma, Siddhartha Gautama, who later became the enlightened Buddha. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is a sacred destination for several Buddhists and spiritual seekers. The tranquil aura of this revered pilgrimage site is also highlighted by the calm monasteries, meditation centers, and stupas built by countries dedicated to the dharma of Buddhism, like China, Japan, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. Pilgrims and tourists alike are drawn to the great Maya Devi Temple, the centerpiece of Lumbini, which shows the sandstone sculpture showing the birth of the Buddha. Surrounding the temple are impressive monastic zones, where the eastern section is also reserved for Theravada monasteries and the western for great Mahayana monasteries. With its peaceful ambience and sacred Bodhi trees, the holy garden offers an excellent space for several reflection and meditation places.
