Lumbini Tour

Lumbini is known all over the world as the birth place of Prince Siddhartha who later on became the Buddha. It is situated on the foothills of the Churiya range in the district of Rupandehi, 300km southwest of capital Kathmandu. Being the birth place of the Buddha, Lumbini has long been exalted as a great centre of pilgrimage for both the Hindus and the Buddhists. It is incidentally the first and foremost site of pilgrimage among the Chatumahasthana. Much of the Buddhist scriptures proclaim that the newly born Prince Siddhartha took seven steps and uttered some precious words as epoch making message to the suffering humanity. It happened in the beautiful sal grove of Lumbini, Nepal. Lumbini is also famous for its garden. Legend has it that Maya Devi, the queen of Sakya King Suddhodana of Kapilavastu, on the way to her maternal hometown Devadaha, gave birth to Prince Siddhartha in this garden..
