The Buddhist Triangle Tour with Lumbini is a thoughtfully designed pilgrimage that encompasses four of the most sacred Buddhist destinations across Nepal and India. This spiritual journey connects travelers with the origins and key sites of Buddhism, beginning in the bustling metropolis of Delhi, India, and concluding in the serene birthplace of Lord Buddha, Lumbini, Nepal. The tour offers a profound insight into Buddhist culture, history, and spirituality, combining historic monuments, ancient temples, and scenic landscapes.Starting in Delhi, visitors explore iconic landmarks such as the Qutub Minar, the Lotus Temple, and the Red Fort, each telling a unique story of India's rich heritage.
