Lumbini Birthplace of Buddha: Nepal
https://marybartnikowski.com

You'll love going to Lumbini. It's a sacred primitive place in the flat lands of Nepal where Buddha was born. It's set in the sacred garden where temples have been built from many countries. The closest temple to the exact spot where Buddha was born, is where I stayed for a 10-day Vipassana meditation. 

Don't leave Nepal without seeing where Buddha was born in Lumbini.

Do you need a good place to stay in Kathmandu?
This is my favorite place in Thamel:

You'll get a safe place to stay, low cost high quality restaurant in a quieter part of Thamel.
If you book with my link I get a small commission, so I can keep giving you great places to stay. I lived in this hotel for 5 weeks!

Nepal is a magical place with many incredible and sacred power places. You do have to travel far from Kathmandu to get to Lumbini but the journey is worth it. The roads are potholed and bumpy but you can stay in the sacred garden at a few guesthouses for a bit of peace and quiet. 

Or you can stay in the village of Lumbini outside the gates of the sacred garden. Either way it's an unforgettable remarkable experience.
