Lumbini Tour Packages from Malaysia

In the foothills of the Himalaya, in a garden that has been a place of pilgrimage for over two thousand years, stands the Maya Devi Temple — built over the exact spot where Prince Siddhartha Gautama was born in 623 BCE and later became the Buddha. A Lumbini tour package from Malaysia brings you to this UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the most significant places in the Buddhist world. Walk the sacred garden at dawn, before the tour groups arrive, when the mist hangs over the Bodhi tree and the monks are chanting in the monasteries. See the Ashoka Pillar, erected by Emperor Ashoka in 249 BCE to mark the birthplace. Visit the World Monastery Zone, where 17 countries — Thailand, China, Sri Lanka, Japan, Germany, France, Myanmar, Tibet and more — have each built their own national Buddhist temple in their own architectural tradition. The result is one of the most remarkable collections of sacred architecture in the world. Lumbini combined with Kathmandu, Nagarkot and Pokhara makes for Nepal's most complete pilgrimage circuit. Dhesu has been arranging Buddhist pilgrimage journeys in Nepal since 1988, with experience handling both individual travellers and large group pilgrimages from Malaysian Buddhist associations.
