Many just make a day trip to Lumbini from the neighbouring towns of Butwal, Bhairawa or Sunauli. But if you want to stay in the area, the peaceful environment of Lumbini is certainly better than the noisy towns around. The options are many for your hotel stay, the choice exclusively yours.
The choices are rather limited. There are many restaurants which are about a ten minutes walk from the centre. There might be fewer food choices in Lumbini in comparison to Pokhara and Kathmandu However, despite the circumstances, you won’t need to go hungry…the Buddha wouldn’t want that anyways.
Cost Exclusion
The best time for a trip of this kind would be in the spring and autumn. It is wonderful during this time of the year when the skies are a sparkling blue and the landscapes found on these trips are stunning to behold. It’s also cooler at this time to visit the steaming Terai region of Nepal which is hot and humid in the summers. Our program could be changed to accommodate individual group choices and preferences in order to give you proper holidays that become signature ventures for a lifetime.
