Buddhist Circuit of Nepal
The Lord Buddha
Gautam Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautam or Shakyamuni Buddha is the founder of Buddhism. He is also often referred to as the light of Asia. The lord Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal. For Buddhist people all over the world Nepal is therefore a holy place. In Nepal you will discover many stupas and temples dedicated to Gautam Buddha.
Lumbini
The Lord Buddha was born in 623 BC in the sacred area of Lumbini. Lumbini is located in the Terai plains of southern Nepal. An inscription on the pillar erected by the Mauryan Emperor Asoka in 249 BC testifies these facts. Lumbini is uniquely one of the holiest places of one of the world’s great religions. Remains found here contain important evidence about the nature of Buddhist pilgrimage centers dating back to the 3rd century BC.
Kapilavastu was capital of Shakya Kingdom and Buddha was born to king Shuddhodhana of this clan. Gautam Buddha spent his first twenty-nine years of life here.
Significance
This place is important and enables you to witness the princely surroundings experienced by the Buddha in his early days. He later engaged in meditation and also contributed enormously to humanity by giving up his own luxury and princely status.
Niglihawa is the birthplace of Kanakmuni, the second Buddha of Bhadrakalpa. This is home to the Asoka pillar erected by Emperor Asoka in 249 BC. This pillar is broken into two pieces, the lower part bears inscriptions and is submerged. The upper part lays on the surface.
The Sacred Garden
At the heart of the site there is a Sacred Garden. The purpose of this area is to produce an atmosphere of peace, spirituality, worldwide brotherhood and non-violence. This hence reflects the Buddha’s message to the world.
Apoorva Tours therefore look forward to arranging a package to suit your individual requirements.
Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, you will be warmly greeted by a representative from Apoorva tours. You will be meeting your guide on the same day
