Tour Overview

Tour Overview

The Buddhist Pilgrimage tour in Nepal is for those who want to get knowledge about Buddha and his birthplace and meditation from a Lama (spiritual teacher). This package will serve you the detailed information about Buddha and his philosophy. The tour offers you the sights in Kathmandu and Lumbini, as well as provides information about Tibetan Buddhism.

The Buddhist Pilgrimage tour in Nepal commences from Kathmandu Valley and moves to the birthplace of Lord Buddha. The tour started from the famous places Swoyambhunath and the Buddhanath stupa. Both places have a holy regard for Buddhism, along with spiritual beliefs. Swoyambhunath, which is also known as the monkey temple, has a historical record found on a stone inscription written in the 5th century, whereas Boudhanath stupa has a strong influence on Tibetan Buddhism because of the influx of Tibetan refugees.

The Buddhist pilgrimage tour package recommended a place to visit, Tilaurkot and Gotihawa, which are within Lumbini. This place has significant importance cause this is the exact place of Lord Buddha. Tilaurakot is the hometown of Prince Siddhartha, who later became Buddha. Many archaeologists had identified that there was a kingdom that existed before 2500 years ago, where Siddhartha spent 29 years of his princely life. The archaeologist has successfully quarried the basement structure of an ancient palace with old monasteries and other historical material, which are preserved and still can be seen. Gotihawa, located about 3 km southwest of Taulihawa, is believed to be the birthplace of Nirvana of Karkuchanda Buddha, who came before Shakyamuni Buddha in Nepal. The secret Buddhist site is Lumbini.

After visiting the Lumbini Buddhist pilgrimage tour, it came to an end at Kathmandu. In Kathmandu, you will provide the mediation course with guidance from the Lama in Kopan Monastery or other meditation centers. On the Buddhist Pilgrimage tour in Nepal, you will practice the mode of consciousness or realize some benefit with guidance from the spiritual guru inside the monastery or camp.
