Join our meticulously designed itinerary and enjoy the incredible and mysterious grottoes mountains, temples, monasteries and stupas in the birth place of Lord Buddha. Buddhist pilgrimage tour in Nepal is the best way to get the visual aid to life of Buddha and development of Buddhism. Along with spiritual tour, it also allows us to explore the immaculate beauty of nature and cultural wonder of Lake City, Pokhara.

Kathmandu, the central hub of Buddhism for ages, is blessed with gigantic domed shaped stupas- Swayambhunath and Boudhanath (both are listed in UNESCO cultural heritage sites) and these two are major Buddhist sightseeing destinations in and around Kathmandu. These sites are strongly connected with significant historical and religious stories on how Buddhism was spread over the valley. There are other Buddhist Pilgrimage sites in Namobuddha where future Buddha sacrifices his body to starved Tigress and her under-fed cubs.

Lumbini, the spiritual place where Lord Buddha was born, presents ultimate archeological significance and is listed in UNESCO world heritage site. The secret garden of Lumbini was the place where Prince Shiddhartha Gautam was born, who later became Buddha after enlightenment. There are more than 62 archeological sites in Lumbini region that displays different events of Buddha life. During Buddhist circular tour, we visit the Secret Garden, Maya Devi Temple, Ashok Pillar, Puskrani Pond, Nepal Buddha Temple, Lumbini Museum etc.

“Best trip ever - 15 days Nepal round trip (Dec 2016)

Rating:  

My family of four travel a lot but this trip to Nepal (Kathmandu, Gorkha, Tansen, Pokhara,Lumbini, Chitwan etc) - organized & accompanied by Himalayan Joy Adventure (HMJ) - was one of best trips ever. And this was not only because of this wonderful country and it's specific spirit. The team of HML was so sincere, very professional, always ready to help, prescient and trustworthy throughout the trip - no matter if it was the the Managing Director (CHOLENDRA), the guides (esp. TIKA RAi, the driver and Cholendra's new hotel team in Kath. i.e. Sampada Garden Resort. And it all came from their hearts. I highly recommend HJA! 6-star service. Date of experience: December 2016
