Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, is located in Nepal near the Indian border. The major attractions at Lumbini include the remains at Tilaurakot, which prove Buddha was born in Nepal, various monasteries constructed by other countries to honor Buddha, and Lumbini Garden, where Buddha is believed to have been born. The 8-day tour of Lumbini and Kathmandu includes visits to important religious sites in Kathmandu like Pashupatinath Temple, as well as traveling by air or road to Lumbini to explore the birthplace of Buddha and surrounding monasteries over two days, before returning to Kathmandu for a final free day of activities.
