About this Nepal travel vlog:
I decided to hit the road for my first big adventure in Nepal. I went by taxi, tourist bus, tempo, and local bus over two days to get to the birthplace of Lord Buddha. I had many fun and crazy experiences, saw beautiful landscapes, and made new friends along the way! I really enjoyed this road trip vlog and hope you do too!

About traveling in Nepal:
Land travel in Nepal offers a unique and adventurous experience, especially when traveling between major cities like Kathmandu and Lumbini. The road journey from Kathmandu to Lumbini spans approximately 300 kilometers. The route passes through picturesque landscapes, including rolling hills, dense forests, and small villages, giving travelers a glimpse into rural Nepali life.
The road to Lumbini combines paved highways and gravel sections, which can be bumpy, especially during the monsoon season. While the infrastructure has improved in recent years, the journey still requires patience and flexibility. The best way to travel is by bus, with both local and tourist buses available, offering a more budget-friendly option.
Along the way, travelers can stop at various towns and villages for refreshments and to enjoy local delicacies. The route offers a peaceful and scenic experience, contrasting with the busy streets of Kathmandu. Land travel in Nepal not only connects destinations but also immerses travelers in the country’s natural beauty and cultural richness.

About Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha:
Lumbini, located in the Rupandehi District of Nepal, is renowned as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became the Buddha. It is one of the holiest sites in Buddhism and attracts pilgrims and tourists worldwide. According to tradition, Siddhartha was born in Lumbini in the 6th century B.C., under a sal tree, while his mother, Queen Maya, was en route to her parental home. The sacred garden where he was born is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, with the Maya Devi Temple marking the exact spot of his birth.
The site is surrounded by several monuments, stupas, and monasteries built by various Buddhist countries, each contributing its cultural touch. The peace and tranquility of the area are enhanced by its serene ponds and lush greenery. Lumbini also houses the Ashoka Pillar, erected by Emperor Ashoka in 249 BCE to mark the spot of Buddha’s birth.
In addition to its religious significance, Lumbini is a center for Buddhist studies and practice. It attracts people of all faiths seeking inspiration from Buddha’s teachings of peace, compassion, and mindfulness. The area continues to be an essential place for spiritual reflection and pilgrimage.
लुम्बिनी, नेपालको रुपन्देही जिल्लामा अवस्थित, बुद्धको जन्मस्थलको रूपमा प्रसिद्ध छ। यो बौद्ध धर्मको एक महत्वपूर्ण तीर्थस्थल हो र विश्वभरका तीर्थयात्री र पर्यटकहरूको आकर्षणको केन्द्र बनेको छ। परम्पराअनुसार, सिद्धार्थ गौतम, जसले पछि बुद्धको नामबाट प्रसिद्धि पाए, ६ औं शताब्दी ईसा पूर्व लुम्बिनीमा जन्मेका थिए, जब उनकी आमा, क्वीन माया, आफ्ना मातापिता घर जाँदै थिइन्। लुम्बिनीको पवित्र बगैंचामा उनले जन्मेका थिए, र यसै स्थानमा माया देवी मन्दिर अवस्थित छ, जुन बुद्धको जन्म स्थानको चिह्नको रूपमा मानिन्छ।
यस स्थलमा विभिन्न बौद्ध देशहरूले निर्माण गरेका थुप्रै स्मारक, स्तूप र मठहरू रहेका छन्, जसले आफ्ना सांस्कृतिक र धार्मिक विशेषता प्रस्तुत गर्छन्। लुम्बिनीको शान्त वातावरण र हरियालीले यहाँको शान्ति र शान्ति अझ बढी प्रभावकारी बनाउँछ। यहाँ अशोक स्तम्भ पनि रहेको छ, जुन सम्राट अशोकले २४९ ईसापूर्वमा बुद्धको जन्मस्थलको चिह्नको रूपमा बनवाएका थिए।
लुम्बिनी बौद्ध अध्ययन र अभ्यासको एक केन्द्रको रूपमा पनि कार्य गर्दछ, जहाँ शान्ति, करुणा र ध्यानको शिक्षाहरूको स्रोतको रूपमा यो स्थान एक महत्त्वपूर्ण तीर्थस्थलको रूपमा रहन्छ।

    Why you are not getting views in this video is you took to long to upload this video. The hype, love, attention you received from the first Holi festival video is killed by yourself.

    Highway from Kathmandu to muglin is under construction and highway from narayanghat to butwal is under construction so you only have 60-70km better road out of maybe 220km

    I am 1 hour far from Lumbini in a small town called Murgiya. I hope you had a good experience as many Indians are in Nepal which brings lots of bad habits.
    Peace mate☘️
