A Sacred Journey to the Birthplace of Lord Buddha

Lumbini stands as one of the holiest sites in the world—what Jerusalem is to Christians or Mecca is to Muslims, Lumbini is to Buddhists.
Yet, beyond religious comparisons, this sacred land invites every traveler on a deeper quest: not toward a god, but inward—toward peace, mindfulness, and self-discovery.
That’s the true spirit of this journey.

As your helicopter descends from the green hills of the Kathmandu Valley into the lush Terai plains, the tranquil sprawl of Lumbini unfolds beneath you.
A tapestry of monasteries, meditation gardens, and sacred temples greets the eye—each corner echoing centuries of devotion and serenity.
This is more than a destination. This is a space for spiritual awakening.
