Lumbini is the quietest of our hubs and the easiest to reach: Gautam Buddha International Airport at Bhairahawa is 20 km away, and the Terai roads between the two are flat, straight and almost empty. We deliver across Lumbini, Bhairahawa and Butwal, and the one-way drop to Chitwan, Pokhara or Kathmandu is free.
The sacred garden takes a morning; the rest of the region takes a car. The monastic zone spreads over several kilometres, the Kapilvastu sites sit half an hour west, and the Siddhartha Highway climbs out of the plains to Tansen in an afternoon.
Delivery works around pilgrim and flight timings alike: a car can be at your monastery guesthouse before the garden opens, or waiting at a hotel in Bhairahawa when the morning flight from Kathmandu lands.
Available anywhere inside Nepal. Meeting a flight is an airport transfer. See airport pickup and drop-off details.

5 km
Monasteries from a dozen countries along the central canal, with the World Peace Pagoda at the far end — too spread out to walk in the heat.
27 km west
The excavated remains of the Shakya capital where the Buddha grew up — quiet, shaded and nearly empty of visitors.
80 km north
Up the Siddhartha Highway from Butwal to a cool Newar hill bazaar with views back over the plains — worth an overnight.
120 km east
Along the East–West Highway to the national park: a morning in the garden, then Sauraha in time for the evening river.
Choose a local driver, take the wheel, or settle in for a longer stay.
“Landed at Bhairahawa at ten and was walking the monastic zone by eleven.”
Yes — across Lumbini, Bhairahawa and Butwal, usually within the hour. Meeting you at Gautam Buddha International Airport is an airport transfer rather than a door delivery.
Yes. Drop the car at any hub — Chitwan, Pokhara or Kathmandu — at no extra charge, or keep it for the whole loop and fly home from wherever it ends.
A morning for the sacred garden and the Maya Devi temple, and an afternoon for the monastic zone. With a car, Tilaurakot and Tansen turn a stopover into two or three good days.
October to March is dry and mild. The plains get hot from April, when early starts and an air-conditioned car make all the difference.
Delivered to your door, insurance and kilometres included. Free cancellation up to two hours before delivery.
