Lumbini- The Birthplace of the Buddha Experience

2500 years ago 250 km southwest of Kathmandu was born a prince Siddarth Gautam who later would go on to be known as the Buddha or the light of Asia to the world. Lumbini the birthplace of the Buddha is a pilgrimage site for both Buddhists and Hindus. A three-day meditation sojourn at Lumbini along with a side visit of another 3 days into the wild west of Nepal at the Bardiya National park should give you a spiritual and an adventure experience. Visiting the various monasteries and stupas at Lumbini which is now a UNESCO designated world heritage site, interacting with the spiritual gurus, having your questions answered along with a day of meditation with them should give a peek into Buddhism in a nutshell.

Bardiya National park, on the other hand, offers wild untamed rivers, thick tropical forests with its varied game like the Royal Bengal tiger, the great one-horn Rhino, and the rare and elusive freshwater or the Gangetic dolphin. A three-day spiritual journey coupled with adventure will be a perfect way to end your holiday.
