Nepal - the birthplace of Lord Buddha 🕊️

Long before it became famous as the home of Mount Everest, Nepal earned its place in history as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, better known as Buddha. Around 563 BCE, Siddhartha was born in the town of Lumbini, a quiet sanctuary in the southwestern region of Nepal. Today, this sacred site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important pilgrimage destination for Buddhists and travelers from around the world.

Lumbini’s peaceful atmosphere is anchored by its most iconic landmark: the Maya Devi Temple, which marks the spot where Queen Maya Devi gave birth to Siddhartha under a sal tree. Archaeologists have also uncovered ruins beneath the temple, which date back to the 3rd century BCE, when Emperor Ashoka of India visited and erected a famous sandstone Ashokan Pillar that still stands today. 🕉️

But here’s something even more fascinating: At the time of Siddhartha’s birth, his family didn’t foresee his future as a spiritual leader. Born into royalty, he was raised in luxury as a prince of the Shakya clan. It wasn’t until he left the palace and witnessed suffering in the world that he renounced his wealth to seek enlightenment – a journey that began in Nepal and ultimately shaped one of the world’s great religions.

For history lovers, Nepal is more than its mountains – it’s a gateway to ancient stories that changed the world. If you ever visit Nepal, don’t miss a trip to Lumbini. You’ll not only see the birthplace of Buddha but also monasteries built by Buddhist communities from around the globe, each with unique architectural styles reflecting their countries.

Have you ever heard about Lumbini or Buddha's origins in Nepal? Would you visit this sacred site?

In Kathmandu, the echoes of history are everywhere. Beneath the bustling streets and vibrant markets lies a city that has witnessed centuries of change—each era leaving its indelible mark.

Kathmandu’s story is as complex as its winding alleys. From its days as a medieval trade hub along the ancient Silk Road to the birthplace of towering kingdoms, the city has been a cultural melting pot. At the heart of it all is Durbar Square, a stunning cluster of palaces, temples, and courtyards that once served as the seat of Nepal’s monarchs. It’s more than just architecture—it’s the spiritual and political core of an era that defined the valley.

Yet, Kathmandu’s history is not frozen in time. The Swayambhunath Stupa, or the “Monkey Temple,” predates the city itself. Perched atop a hill overlooking the valley, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is believed to have been built more than 2,000 years ago. Its gilded spire and the watchful eyes of Buddha gaze serenely over a city forever evolving.

Tragedy and resilience are interwoven into Kathmandu’s fabric. The 2015 earthquake left still visible scars—crumbling temples and fractured walls—but also revealed the spirit of a people bound by history, culture, and an unyielding determination to rebuild.

Just outside the city, Bhaktapur, a perfectly preserved medieval town, offers a glimpse into Nepal’s artistic heritage. Narrow streets lined with red-brick houses lead to breathtaking sites like the Nyatapola Temple, a five-tiered marvel of Newari craftsmanship. Here, ancient mask-making traditions endure, with each mask telling a story rooted in mythology and ritual.

Kathmandu isn’t just a destination—it’s a narrative of perseverance, art, and faith, woven together over millennia. Walking through its streets feels like stepping into a living museum, where every corner tells a story waiting to be discovered.

When you visit Nepal, you’re not just exploring its landscapes; you’re delving into the rich history of a place that defies time. Are you ready to take that journey?

Our travelers have fond memories of Sapa, Northern Vietnam—a place where the terraced rice fields rise in layers up the mountains, almost like a natural amphitheater shaped by generations of local Hmong and Dao communities. These terraces aren’t just for show; they represent an age-old method of farming that has allowed these communities to cultivate in steep, mountainous terrain, conserving water and soil.

Beyond the landscape, Sapa offers rich encounters with a way of life rooted in tradition. This is where handmade textiles are crafted with natural dyes, where village markets are a tapestry of sights, sounds, and local flavors, and where the community spirit is as enduring as the hills themselves.

Whether you're drawn to trekking through mist-filled valleys, immersing yourself in local culture, exploring vibrant markets, or enjoying the natural beauty, we’re here to help you craft a journey that’s just right for you. At , we offer custom experiences that bring you closer to the heart of this remarkable region.

Lastly, What Makes Chhathi Maiya So Special?

🙏 Rituals and Offerings: At sunrise and sunset, devotees offer “arghya” to the Sun God, with fruits, sugarcane, coconuts, and the sacred sweet, thekua. Standing in rivers and lakes, they honor nature and express gratitude.

🌄 Fasting and Purity: Observing a strict fast, often without water, devotees practice self-purification and show reverence for life’s blessings, embodying the discipline of this sacred time.

👨‍👩‍👧 Community and Family: Families unite, sharing prasad with friends and neighbors. This time strengthens communal bonds, making it a beautiful reflection of Nepali culture.

🍃 Environmental Connection: Sustainability is woven into Chhath. Devotees clean water bodies and use biodegradable materials for offerings, showing respect for nature.

Imagine joining us for this timeless celebration next year.

🌞 Live from Nepal’s Chhath Festival! 🌞

We’re thrilled to have two of our groups in Nepal right now, witnessing the Chhath Festival, a festival where gratitude and devotion shine. This four-day celebration highlights:

1️⃣ (Nahai Khai): Devotees cleanse themselves and their surroundings, preparing for the ritual with a focus on purity. They consume a single vegetarian meal, often prepared without onion and garlic.

2️⃣ (Kharna): This day involves fasting, which is broken in the evening after offering prayers and food to the Sun God. Devotees eat prasad (sacred food), usually rice pudding and bread.

3️⃣ (Sandhya Arghya): The main day of the festival, when devotees fast without water, prepare elaborate offerings, and gather at rivers or ponds to worship the setting sun.

4️⃣ (Usha Arghya): The final day starts early as devotees return to the riverbanks to offer prayers to the rising sun, marking the end of the festival. Afterward, they break their fast and distribute prasad among family and friends.

It’s an experience that goes beyond tourism—it’s about connecting to the essence of Nepal.

🌅 Greetings from Nepal! 🌅

Our team and travelers are celebrating the vibrant Chhath Festival with the Hindu communities in Nepal's Terai region today! This festival is a powerful tribute to the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya, honoring health, prosperity, and nature’s gifts. Standing by the rivers at sunrise with the devoted is a sight that touches the soul!

🗓️WHEN? The festival takes place over four days, typically in late October or early November, soon after Diwali. It aligns with the Hindu calendar's Kartika month and culminates on the sixth day after the new moon, hence the name "Chhath" (which means "sixth" in Nepali and Hindi).

Want to witness such extraordinary traditions up close? We have two groups in Nepal right now embracing the magic of Chhath. This is why we’re here – to give you experiences like no other!
