Kathmandu - Lumbini - Tour
Within the mountain Kingdom of Nepal, Buddhism and Hindusm have always flourished and evoked together side by side for hundred of years. The evolution of such important religious and dynasties have made much contribution towards the beautiful monuments and temples within the valley capital of Nepal- Kathmandu where we get to explore in depth the culture and history of an ancient city.

Lumbini is the birthplace of Gautam Buddha where the apostle of peace, compassion, non-violence and universal brotherhood was born in 624 B.C. It is the most sacred place of Buddhism and lies in the Terai about 250 km south west of Kathmandu , the capital city of Nepal .

Lumbini remained neglected for centuries. Further exploration and excavation of the surroundings area revealed the existence of a brick and sandstone sculpture within the temple itself, which depict the scenes of Buddha? birth.
