About experience

Lumbini is the birth place of Siddhartha Gautam (563 BC) one of the most revered figures, better known as the Buddha. You can see the exact spot of the Buddhaโ€™s birth under a Bodhi tree in the Maya Devi Temple as well as the adjoining scared garden. The sandstone Ashoka Pillar lies in front of the temple.

Added to this will be a blitz into Nepalโ€™s exotic wildlife at the Chitwan National park. You will get to see the massive one-horned rhino, light-footed deer, an elephant breeding centre and the elusive tiger napping in the shade. A drive down a flat land with greenery on either side of the road takes you to Chitwan, a place known for conservation of wild life in their natural habitat.Taking the jungle safari tour in Chitwan national park youโ€™ll see the one-horned rhinos, deer, monkeys and a great many species of birds, some of them that are very rare. Apart from those, if luck favours you, you can see wild elephants, sloth bears, leopards and royal Bengal tiger.

Lumbini has a number of temples, including the Mayadevi Temple and several others which are still under construction. Many monuments, monasteries and a museum โ€” the Lumbini International Research Institute โ€” are also located within the holy site. Also located there is the Puskarini or Holy Pond where the Buddha's mother took the ritual dip prior to his birth and where he, too, had his first bath. At other sites near Lumbini, earlier Buddhas were, according to tradition, born, achieved ultimate Enlightenment and finally relinquished their earthly forms.

Lumbini was granted World Heritage status by UNESCO in 1997.
