Kathmandu:
Kathmandu is a cultural hotbed of entwined
histories and fascinating cultural encounters
that never disappoint, making it one of the most
popular and sought-after destinations in South
Asia. It truly is a place for travellers to
realise their dreams. Situated at the Terai
plains of the southern Nepal. Lumbini is the
place where Siddhartha Gautam, the Shakya Prince
and the ultimate Buddha, the Enlighten One, was
born in 623 BC. The sacred place, marked by a
stone pillar erected by Emperor Ashoka of India
in 249 BC, is listed as one of the World
Heritage Sites. Today the holy site is being
developed with international support as the
supreme Buddhist pilgrimage and a symbol of
world peace. The shrines and monasteries that
many countries have built or are still building
reflect the architectural traditions of the
respective countries, and thus giving Lumbini an
international feel with a message of universal
friendship and brotherhood. About 30km east of
Lumbini is the village of Tilaurakot which is
believed to have been the location of the
Kapilvastu royal palace where the Buddha grew up
as the Shakya dynasty prince, until he renounced
it at the age of 29 in search of enlightenment. |

Chitwan:
Chitwan National Park has long been one of the
country's treasures of natural wonders. The park
is situated in south central Nepal, covering 932
sq. km. in the subtropical lowlands of the inner
Terai. The area comprising the Tikauli forest -
from Rapti river to the foothills of the
Mahabharat - extending over an area of 175 sq.
km. was declared Mahendra Mriga Kunj (Mahendra
Deer Park) by the late King Mahendra in 1959. In
1963, the area south of Rapti River was
demarcated as a rhinoceros sanctuary. The area
was gazetted as the country's first national
park in 1973. The park is home to more than 50
mammal species, over 525 birds, and 55
amphibians and reptiles. The endangered fauna
found in the park are: One-horned rhinoceros,
Gaur, Royal Bengal tiger, Wild elephant, Four
horned antelope, Pangolin, Gangetic dolphin,
Gharial crocodile, Golden monitor lizard,
Python, etc. Among birds one can see Bengal
florican, lesser florican, Giant hornbill, Black
stork, White stork, etc.
Lumbini - The
birthplace of Lord Buddha.
Lumbini is the birthplace of Gautam Buddha.
Lumbini is located in Central Nepal very close
to the border of Indian State of Utter Pradesh.
The birthplace of Sidhartha Gautam Buddha is
pilgrimage site for Buddhist and non-Buddhist
alike. It is a small unknown town before the
discovery of the birthplace of Buddha; it was
marked by Ashok Pillar which was built in 250 BC
by an Indian emperor Ashok in the height of his
power. Beside the Ashok Pillar there is a temple
of Maya Devi, mother of Gautam Buddha, and the
sacred pool, known as Puskarni, where Maya Devi
gave purification bath to Gautam Buddha. The
focal point of Lumbini is the sanctum sanctorum
where a stone slab is located which marks exact
birthplace of Gautam Buddha. Places to visit
include restored garden and surrounding areas
with many ancient monuments, monasteries and
stupas. The other important archeological site
in Lumbini is Kapilvastu, located about 27 km
west of Lumbini. Sidhartha Gautam Buddha spent
his early years of childhood in Kapilvastu.
Archaeologist has discovered that the foundation
of the palace scattered in the area has 13
successive layers of human habitation dating
back to 8th century BC. Other historical places
associated with the life of Gautam Buddha are
Aroarakot (about 10km west), Chatradei (about
5km north), and to the southwest Gotihawa (about
5km) and Kudan (about 2km) from Taulihawa.
Niglihawa and Sagarhawa are other near by sites
that are archeologically important. Surrounding
villages and weekly market full of local
merchandise and people provides interesting
sightseeing tour beside the birthplace of
Buddha. Bodhgaya, the place where Sidhartha
Gautam Buddha attained the knowledge of Nirvana
- eternal peace, is in Bihar; it is very close
to Lumbini.
The road from Kathmandu to Lumbini is 285 km and
from Pokhara it is 200 km. The road from
Kathmandu joins East-West highway (Mahendra
Highway) at Naryanghat and continues to the west
to Butwal, and Bhairawa. Lumbini is about 16 km
west of Bhairawa. Chitwan is about 3-hour drive.
The circuit is done in anti clockwise direction. |
