      In the Buddha's time, Lumbini was a park situated in Kapilavastu Nepal. It was in Lumbini that the Buddha was born. A pillar now marks the spot of Asoka's visit to Lumbiní. According to an inscription on the pillar, it was placed there by the people then in charge of the park to commemorate Asoka's visit and gifts. The park was previously known as Rummindei, two miles north of Bhagavanpura.

      In the Sutta Nipáta (vs. 683) it is stated that the Buddha was born in a village of the Sákyans, in the Lumbineyya Janapada. The Buddha stayed in Lumbinívana during his visit to Devadaha and there preached the Devadaha Sutta.

        [url=http://www.flightandairticket.com/kathmandu_bhairahawa.php]Bhairahawa[/url] - is the nearest airport to get Lumbini if you want to fly from Kathmandu.

      • By rail

        The closest station is at Nautanwa, India on the Indian Railway network, but passenger trains are infrequent on this line. The alternative of taxi travel from the border crossing at Sunauli to Gorakhpur takes about two hours. From Sunauli, Siddharthanagar is only 3.5 kilometers. Total travel time is 12 - 18 hours from Dehli and 10 - 12 hours from Kolkata (Calcutta).
        The Mahaparinirvan Express tourist train stops in Gorakhpur where tourists continue to Lumbini by road.

      • By road

        Buses ply the route between Sunauli (from stop across from Hotel Yeti) and Lumbini. At Lumbini alight at the main gate. Alternatively, from the Nepal side of the border one can take a shared jeep to [wiki=14059e72c3109049fe3d73538c4148f6]Bhairahawa[/wiki] (4 kilometers) followed by a bus to Lumbini. Bhairahawa-Lumbini buses depart every 15 minutes. The last return bus departs at 5 PM.

        Buses also run from [wiki=233f617d842ce6b68ebb5290f7c383ab]Kathmandu[/wiki], [wiki=b9ad5f615eee8367997b50b1de62bd68]Pokhara[/wiki], [wiki=50c8f95669c6f3e7e72e60736a1b43d7]Gorakhpur[/wiki] and [wiki=3f895a530f7583747047ad72ba10b215]Varanasi[/wiki] to Sunauli. Gorakhpur to Sunauli state transport buses are reasonably frequent.

        Taxis are probably the best option for reaching Lumbini from Sunauli, though you will need to know the going rate to avoid paying well over the odds. As everywhere else in the sub-continent, ensure that the fare has been agreed before heading out. This will save trouble at the destination.

        Given that the sights in Lumbini are far across, bicycles and cycle rickshaws offer a good way to get around. Bicycles can be rented at hotels in Lumbini (100 NRs/day), as well as the Korean monastery (provided you are staying there). Bicycles are also available near the main gate next to the cycle rickshaw stand. Make sure of the condition of the tires, as a flat will mean pushing it back over miles. Also check the condition of the seat and the lock.

    • filter_dramaDo
      Soak up the peaceful atmosphere, conducive to meditation and reflection.

      Hire a bike- you can barter for any bike for 50 rupees- and bike around the temples. There are a few 'no bike' zones- the best way to get to the majority of temples is to come out of the main tourist road and turn right onto the main road then left through the first main gate to the park.
      * There is the possibility of your tyres being let down- we were approached by a young boy asking for money, claibg he was hungry then pointing us to his friend selling lotus'. We declined but returning to our bikes later, found out tyres had been purposely let down. As we'd had no run-ins with anyone else and no real problems with the bike shop, we can only presume it was the boy.
