DAY 1

ARRIVAL AT KATHMANDU

Your Buddhist circuit tour Nepal begins with your arrival in Kathmandu.
After arriving at the airport, you will be received by our representative
and transferred to the hotel. After resting and relaxing for some time, set
off to visit the city of Patan. It is the third largest city of Nepal after
Pokhara and Kathmandu. The city is famous for its rich cultural heritage and
exceptional proficiency in the manufacture of arts and crafts since ancient
times. As a historical city, it is dotted with temples, monasteries, palaces
and a former Royal Palace Complex. One of the most popular religious
attractions in Patan is the temple dedicated to the Hindu God Lord Krishna.
Located to the west of Patan Square (itself a famous landmark and a UNESCO
World Heritage Site), the temple was built in the mid-16th century by King
Siddhi Narsingh Malla. Built in the traditional Hindu style of architecture,
it boasts 21 towers. Seek blessings at the temple and admire its
architectural beauty. The next place which you will visit is the Tibetan
Refugee Camp. This market is extremely popular among tourists for its
handicraft items, Tibetan art and weaving carpet. Another famous tourist
attraction here is the Kwa Baha, also known as Golden Temple. This
monastery, located to the north of Durbar Square, was built in the 12th
century. It is called the golden temple because of the gilded metal plates
which are a part of its facade. Besides being the wealthiest (Buddhist
temple or monastery) vihara in Nepal, it is also known by other names like
Hiranyavarna Mahavihara and Sri Bhaskaradeva Samskrita. After visiting this
monastery, you will visit the Mahabuddha Temple. A visit to this religious
structure is always included in any Buddhist circuit tour Nepal. It is said
that the temple structure is inspired by the Bodh Gaya temple structure in
Bihar. It is also known as the “temple of a thousand Buddhas” because an
image of Lord Buddha is engraved on every brick. Spend some time at this
temple, exploring and admiring its architecture and observing the various
rituals observed inside it. Overnight stay at Kathmandu.

KATHMANDU

You will be visiting the famous places to visit in Kathmandu on day two of
your travel itinerary. The tour begins with a visit to Swayambhunath, a
major Buddhist pilgrimage site for devotees belonging to Nepal as well as
Tibet. Located to the northwest of Kathmandu Valley, it was built by King
Manadeva in the 13th century. Also known as the Monkey Temple, it is one the
of the oldest monasteries in the country, besides being a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. Some of the attractions inside the stupa are the Vajra
thunderbolt, Sleeping Buddha, a bronze icon of Buddha and traditional
Tibetan style paintings. After exploring the temple at leisure, head towards
Shree Vajreshwari Yogini Devi Mandir. Located on the banks of River
Bishnumati in close proximity to Swayambhunath, it also consists of several
smaller chaitas within its temple complex. To reach the main shrine,
however, you will have to go to the second floor. In the afternoon, you will
be visiting the Boudhanath Stupa, one of the most popular Buddhist sites in
Nepal. The stupa was built by Licchavi rulers in the 8th century. It is
interesting to know that it stands on the same place which once served as
the ancient trade route to Tibet and served as a place of rest and worship
by Tibetan merchants. Further, it is built in the shape of a mandala, thus
lending it a stark similarity to the Gyangtse Monastery in Tibet. Visitors
to the stupa are extremely impressed by the 176 miniature stupas and
paintings that depict Tibetan Buddhist pantheons.
After visiting the stupa, enjoy a light but delicious lunch at a cafe. Then,
catch a flight to Bhairahawa, from where, you will head to Lumbini. Lumbini
has been accorded a special place in Buddhism because it is the birthplace
of Lord Buddha. It also finds a mention in various Buddhist scriptures, most
notably the Mahaparinibbana Sutta. It is believed that Emperor Ashoka
visited this place around 3rd century BC and constructed a pillar with an
inscription which read, “here was born the Buddha”. You can enjoy
sightseeing and exploration of the various places of popular interest in
Lumbini like Mayadevi Gardens, Ashokan Pillar and Lumbini Gardens. Visiting
the birthplace of Lord Buddha during your Lumbini Buddhist Circuit Tour is
an amazing experience which gifts you with special memories. Overnight stay
at the hotel.

DAY 2

DAY 3

LUMBINI-SRAVASTI

Your Buddhist Circuit tour continues with a morning drive to the Sravasti,
located in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. It was famous for being one
of the largest cities in ancient India during the lifetime of Gautam Buddha.
According to popular folktales in Buddhism, Buddha is believed to have
performed several miracles here. It was in this city that he lived for the
most part of his life and gave several discourses and sermons to his
followers. Some of the attractions which you will visit is the remains of
Gandha Kuti, Ananda Monastery and Rahul Monastery. You will also visit the
ruins of Maheth, which is believed to stand on the site where ancient
Sravasti once stood. Overnight stay at the hotel.

SRAVASTI-KUSHINAGAR

On this day, you will drive your way to Kushinagar while crossing the towns
of Basti and Gorakhpur. Make a brief stop for lunch at a hotel and then
proceed for some incredible sightseeing of Kushinagar. Kushinagar, one of
the most famous Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the world, holds a great
spiritual importance because it is here that Lord Buddha preached his last
sermon with the words, “All things must pass. Decay is inheritance in all
things”. Lord Buddha also attained parinirvana at this site. It was
especially a place of immense cultural and spiritual importance under
Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan dynasty. You will visit the Ramabhar Stupa,
which stands on the same spot where Buddha was cremated in 543 BC. Another
attraction is the Mahaparinirvana Temple, which is a major crowd puller for
its statue of Gautam Buddha, who is depicted in a reclining position. From
here, proceed towards the Matha Kuar Shrine. It houses an enormous statue of
Lord Buddha, but unlike the statues found in other monasteries and shrines,
he is depicted in a pose called sparsh bhumi mudra (earth touching pose),
with his finger touching the ground. Overnight stay at the hotel.

for the Gorakhpur Temple. After arriving at Sunouli (a famous transit point
at the India-Nepal border), continue your journey towards Lumbini after
completing the cross border formalities. Enjoy lunch at Lumbini and resume
your journey towards Kapilavastu. Historical sources state this was where
Gautam Buddha spent 25 years of his life. On the way, make a stop and visit
the Lumbini Crane Sanctuary which houses endangered crane species. The
premises of the sanctuary were once the ancient Lumbini Gardens. Overnight
stay at the hotel.
