About this trip
This 10 day trip traces Nepal's Buddhist heritage, from ancient stupas in Kathmandu to the birthplace of Buddha in Lumbini. It moves at a relaxed pace, mixing sacred sites with some hill walking and time by a lake.
You'll spend time in the Kathmandu valley visiting centuries-old shrines, then head out to Namobuddha, Lumbini and Pokhara, taking in both religious history and the surrounding landscape.
It suits travellers who want a guided introduction to Buddhist culture in Nepal without a fast-moving itinerary, with the trip guaranteed to run regardless of group size.
