How to reach Lumbini from Raxaul
From Raxaul you cross into Nepal at the Raxaul–Birgunj border and continue to Lumbini by road. We meet you at Raxaul, assist with the crossing and arrange the journey onward. Travel time depends on the route, traffic, road and weather conditions and your stops, so we plan with comfortable breaks rather than a fixed clock.
What to see in Lumbini
- The Maya Devi Temple, marking the Buddha's exact birthplace
- The sacred garden and the Ashoka Pillar
- The Monastic Zone — temples and monasteries built by Buddhist communities worldwide
- The Puskarini (sacred pond) where Queen Maya Devi is said to have bathed before the birth
Combine Lumbini with Pokhara and Kathmandu
Lumbini works well as the start of a longer circuit — onward to Pokhara's lakes, then Kathmandu's temples and heritage sites. See our Lumbini · Pokhara · Kathmandu Tour for a ready-made itinerary, or tell us your days and we'll build one to fit.
Private vehicle or group tour?
Choose a private vehicle for flexibility over your pace and stops, or a group tour for a friendlier, value-for-money trip. Tell us your group size and dates and we will recommend the better option.
Documents and good-to-know
Indian citizens do not need a visa for Nepal but should carry a valid photo ID such as a passport or Voter ID, plus a few spare copies and photos.
