About About the place

The Maya Devi Temple in Lumbini, Nepal, is a profoundly important religious and historical site, revered as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. The temple marks the exact location of his birth, indicated by ancient remains and a sacred footprint. The surrounding Lumbini Garden provides a peaceful atmosphere, enhanced by the Bodhi tree and the Ashoka pillar. The complex also includes numerous monasteries constructed by different nations, showcasing diverse Buddhist architectural styles and cultural traditions.

It was one the greatest experiences we had. We loved the place and more than the place the people were simply amazing. The hospitality and the warmth provided to us was beyond expectation and we are forever grateful.. The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!

I did an 11 day tour in Iceland and it was awesome. The place is nothing I have ever seen and it was one of the best trips of my life. I went in June and the weather was great and clear. I visited all the main attractions and did some hiking and everything about this city seemed perfect. The best part was seeing the northern lights and being mesmerized by them. This place is definitely worth visiting.. Our visit to this[sight.name] was a nice and calming experience.Our guide was really great and made sure to keep sharing all the relevant information with us. The place is majestic and brings in so much peace and quiet within you.. We decided to visit this place and I think that because it was the weekend, it was too crowded. We were not able to have a good tour since so many people were there and it was not a very nice experience. The place seemed good but I guess the crowd ruined it for us.
