Lumbini Monastic Site

Lumbini is located in southwestern Nepal near the border of India. It is part of the plains of India and was once a very powerful ancient kingdom. A heavily pregnant Queen Maya Devi was in route to her palace when she went into early labor. By a peaceful pond, she gave birth to a prince. But this prince was destined to be greater than a king; he was to become the one to bring enlightenment to the world! It was here 2500 years ago Siddhartha Gautama, the future Buddha, was born. This trip takes you by a short flight from Kathmandu to Bhairahawa and then a short drive to Lumbini. Spend the night at a three star hotel with excellent food and accommodations. Spend the day touring Lumbini. This place has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It covers acres and acres with beautiful gardens, tranquil canals and ponds along with fabulous monasteries. Each of these monasteries has been built by different countries, reflecting Buddhism as it has taken root across the globe. Each monastery is wonderfully different as the nations of the world have contributed back their reflection upon this unique philosophy of peace.
