The sacred garden
Maya Devi Temple marks the exact spot where Buddha was born in 623 BCE. The Marker Stone, Ashoka Pillar and sacred pond are within a few minutes' walk.
International monastic zone
Walk or e-rickshaw through Japan, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Korea and Myanmar monasteries — each in its native architectural style.
Where to stay
Comfortable 3★ hotels are clustered just outside the gardens. We recommend Hotel Tilaurakot or Lumbini Garden New Crystal.
