Kathmandu Lumbini Pokhara Tour is a popular tour that includes these 3 places. Kathmandu, the capital is the center of Nepal’s history, culture, art and economy. Pokhara is the base for trekkers due to its proximity to Annapurna mountain range-Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu. Lumbini is a spiritual place which is birthplace of Lord Buddha. Thus these three places with three different tastes make the complete Nepal tour for people of all ages.
On arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport, a representative from Eve Holidays will greet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel. You’ll have rest of the day at leisure.

Lumbini: Lumbini, lying in the foothills in the Himalayas in Nepal is a Buddhist pilgrimage site, approx. 300 kms south of Kathmandu. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, the site is a large garden with a grove of pipal trees. The most important temple at Lumbini is the Maya Devi Temple, which enshrines the traditional site of the Buddha’s birth. The modern temple consists mainly of simple white building that protects ancient ruins, with the exact spot of the Buddha’s birth. On the south side of the temple is a sacred pool, where it is said Maya Devi bathed before giving birth, and where the new born Buddha was washed by two dragons. The Maya Devi temple is surrounded by the brick foundations of ancient temples and monasteries. All around Lumbini, long lines of colorful prayer flags are strung between trees which are believed to carry prayers and mantras heavenward as they flap on the breeze. The other main sight of interest at Lumbini is Ashoka’s Pillar, near the temple.
