Lumbini Darshan Package

The historic birthplace of the Buddha is housed in one of the world’s most important spiritual sites. Today, you can visit over 25 international Buddhist monasteries, study Buddhism, meditate, and even visit Buddha’s birthplace, Mayadevi Gardens!

Mayadevi Temple is an important site in the Lumbini Garden, with many historians and archaeologists referring to it as Lord Buddha’s birthplace. Inscriptions on the Ashoka Pillar refer to the location as his birthplace. It is said that the newly born Prince took his first seven steps here and delivered a message of peace to humanity. This occurred in the lovely Sal grove, which is now the centerpiece of the Lumbini Garden. Mayadevi, the Queen of Shakya King Suddhodhana of Kapilvastu, took a bath in the Pushkarini (the Sacred Pond) while passing through the Lumbini Garden on the day of Baishakha Purnima (the full moon day of May in 623 BC), and soon after gave birth to the Prince Siddhartha, who became the Buddha.

The Lumbini Garden spans 2.56 square kilometers (1 x 3 square miles) and is divided into three zones, each covering one square mile and linked by walkways and a canal. The climate is subtropical monsoon with a warm wet season.
