Lumbini, located 280km from Kathmandu on the border with India, is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Nepal. It is a Buddhist pilgrimage site for being widely regarded as the birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha. In the year 1997, it was named World Heritage Site. If you travel here, you can learn about Buddha's life and the development of Buddhism.
