Begin your journey with a pickup from your hotel in Lumbini or Taulihawa. Travel beyond Lumbini and spend a full day exploring the wider Buddhist landscape of the ancient Shakya and Koliya kingdoms.

This private-style journey by air-conditioned vehicle brings together important archaeological and pilgrimage sites linked to Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, earlier Buddhas, and key moments in Buddhist history. From royal hometowns and sacred stupas to quiet heritage grounds and a lakeside bird sanctuary, the day offers a broader view of the region’s spiritual and historical depth.

Begin at Tilaurakot, widely identified as the ancient hometown of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. Continue to Niglihawa, associated with Kanakmuni Buddha, then to Aurorakot, regarded as his hometown. The route then leads to Gotihawa, linked to Krakuchanda Buddha, followed by Kudan, where Buddha is believed to have met his son Rahul after enlightenment. As the day unfolds, each stop adds another layer to the storey of the Buddha’s life and the older sacred geography that shaped this region.

Continue to Sagarhawa, remembered as the site of the massacre of the Sakyas, and visit the Twin Stupa, associated with the relics of King Suddhodhan and Mayadevi. Pause at Jagdispur Taal, a peaceful wetland known for birdwatching, before heading to Devdaha, the maternal home of Buddha in the ancient Kaulia Kingdom.

End at Ramgram, home to an untouched Buddha relic stupa revered for remaining undisturbed through the centuries. After visiting the final site, return to your hotel, carrying a deeper understanding of the places connected to Buddha’s family, lineage, and legacy.
