Overview

The Lumbini Pilgrimage Circuit, also known as the Lumbini Round Journey, is a serene and spiritually enriching trek centered around the birthplace of Lord Buddha, located in the southern plains of Nepal. This classic pilgrimage-style trek offers a peaceful exploration of one of the world’s most sacred sites, Lumbini, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by tranquil monasteries and ancient stupas. The Lumbini Circuit is a gentle yet profound journey through the Terai region, providing a blend of cultural immersion and natural beauty in a relatively untouched part of Nepal. The itinerary weaves through quiet rural landscapes, passing lush farmlands, traditional villages, and significant Buddhist heritage sites, with breathtaking views of the distant Himalayan foothills. Our 10-day Lumbini Circuit trek is a fully guided and supported experience, featuring comfortable lodging in local guesthouses and monasteries along the route. The journey begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Lumbini, followed by a well-paced exploration of the sacred gardens and surrounding areas, thoughtfully designed to balance spiritual reflection with the region’s rich history and serene ambiance.
