Lumbini Buddhist Circuit Tour – 3 Days / 2 Nights
Walk in the footsteps of Lord Buddha with our Lumbini Buddhist circuit tour from Gorakhpur. As the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, Lumbini is one of the four holiest places in Buddhism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site that radiates profound peace and spiritual energy.
The Heart of Buddhism: Maya Devi Temple
The centerpiece of your journey is the Maya Devi Temple, the exact spot where Queen Maya Devi gave birth. Visit the sacred Puskarni Pond where the Queen bathed before delivery and the young prince had his first purification bath. The Ashoka Pillar, erected by Emperor Ashoka in 249 BC, stands as silent testimony to the site's historical authenticity, marking the precise birth location of the enlightened one.
Explore the vast Monastic Zone, where different countries have built beautiful monasteries reflecting their unique architectural styles. Visit the German Monastery's intricate murals, the Royal Thai Monastery's white elegance, and the majestic World Peace Stupa, which offers a serene landscape for meditation and reflection. Each structure tells a story of global devotion and the universal appeal of Buddhist philosophy.
