Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour of Nepal

Overview And Highlights

Buddhist pilgrimage Tour in Nepal is designed for those who want to learn about the various aspects of Buddhism and get all the information about Buddhism from the beginning to end in just a short holiday of 9 days. This tour not only takes to the birthplace of Lord Buddha – Lumbini but also to the entire famous Buddhist sites in Kathmandu and near Kathmandu Valley. These 8 days of Buddhist tours in Nepal will introduce you to Buddhism and offer you enough chances to feel spiritual peace.

Some of the famous Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Kathmandu include Swoyambhunath – The monkey Temple, Boudhanath – the largest monastery in the world and several famous gumbas like Kapan Gumba. These sites of Kathmandu are easily reachable by private or public vehicle and we offer you the most luxurious way of transportation available to reach those sacred Gumbas and stupas.

The Boudhanath stupa consists of more than 50 Tibetan Gompas or monasteries in the Boudhanath Region. All the monasteries of Nepal are alike in shape and structure; they consist of a dome-like structure in their base and a cubical structure towering above. The stupa is painted with the eyes of Buddha.

Another interesting and important highlight of this tour is you will visit Namo Buddha, the reason behind its fame is it has Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, where Lord Buddha gave a part of his body to a starving tigress and her cubs. Namobudda also offers an incredible panorama of mountain ranges and beautiful nature.

Moreover, we will take you to the Maratika cave at Halesi, a sacred place for Buddhists. A scenic drive from Kathmandu takes you to Halesi. Then after, a spiritual tour to Lumbini is the very important trip of this Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour package as this takes you to the birthplace of Lord Buddha who is known as the founder of Buddhism. To date, Buddhism has more than 365 million followers in several countries of the world.
