About this Experience

Lumbini, the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama (Lord Buddha), is one of the most sacred sites in Buddhism. This contemplative 5-day journey combines historical exploration with genuine spiritual practice. You'll visit the Maya Devi Temple (the exact birthplace), the Ashoka Pillar, and dozens of international monasteries built by Buddhist nations worldwide — each showcasing their unique architectural traditions from Thailand to Germany. Daily meditation sessions are held in the Sacred Garden at dawn and dusk. Guide Sunita, a certified meditation instructor, leads sessions suitable for complete beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Gokyo Lakes are otherworldly

The colour of the lakes is unreal — an intense turquoise that no photo can capture. The view from Gokyo Ri is genuinely better than from Kala Patthar in my opinion. Fewer crowds, more wilderness feel. Pemba was a stellar guide who made sure our acclimatization was perfect. Highly recommend this over the classic EBC route.
