Trip Overview

About the Buddhism Circuit-Nepal

Nepal, a small yet beloved country residing on the lap of the Himalayas, is home to many sacred places, one of them being Lumbini. Lumbini is a holy land where Lord Buddha was born. The light of Asia, Gautam Buddha, was born as Siddhartha Gautam to the king of the Shakya dynasty, the Kingdom of Kapilvastu.

Despite the majority of Hindu people, Buddhism and Hinduism reside harmoniously in Nepal. There are ample shrines dedicated to Buddha in Nepal, making it one of the safe havens for Buddhist practices.

Swotah offers a 10-day Buddhism Circuit tour that takes you to different parts of Nepal, where you can see the 1,000-year-old shrines dedicated to Buddha. Inside the Kathmandu valley, the Buddhist circuit takes you to the 2000-year-old stupa “Swayambhunath,” also known as the Monkey Temple, and the world’s biggest stupa, “Bouddhanath.”

Likewise, outside the valley, the Buddhist circuit will take you to Namobuddha, which includes some hiking, and to the beautiful city of Pokhara, where you can visit the World Peace Pagoda, which lies above the tranquil Fewa Lake in the hills. The Nepal Buddhism Circuit tour will not only expose you to the religious shrine but also take you to naturally beautiful places and cultural heritage sites.

 

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact—thank you!
