Pokhara offers relaxation, natural charm and adventure opportunities, creating the perfect Himalayan escape.
After Pokhara, the tour takes you to Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha and one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in the world. Visitors can explore the Maya Devi Temple, the Ashoka Pillar, the sacred garden and the international monastic zone, where monasteries from countries like Thailand, China, Japan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Korea showcase unique architectural styles and spiritual traditions.
