here visitors have option of taking a
road journey or an internal flight.
The internal flight takes 30 minutes

regular bus going to Lumbini (you can
ride also a bus going to Taulihawa) –

Nepali rupees from the airport.
For guests arriving from Sunauli, you

Buddha Chok. This is a T junction and
you can find buses queuing to go to Lumbini.
If you reach this place a bit late at
night, you can also hire a taxi to drop
you off which will cost you only 500 Rs
(7 US$). Alternatively you can also call
the Garden for help and advice.

Conservation Effort
The establishment Lumbini Buddha Garden
supports conservation activities through
its own programmes or by supporting other
civil society to complete the missions.
In this regard, it has already supported
some work through Himalayan Nature and
Bird Conservation Nepal. In future, we
are planning to invest our annual profit
in support of natural and cultural conservation.
As an experienced group of people running
hospitality entities in Nepal, we have
considerable experience also of other
similar places in other parts of Nepal
and outside. Organizations that we support
have strong conservation ethics and run
their operation on a way that puts minimum
pressure on natural environment. In east
Nepal, Koshi Camp is the best tourist
standard accommodation close to the famous
bird sanctaury Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve.
This is set up in a natural landscape
and has all the basic facilities you require.
The place itself is great experience for
bird watching.
If you would like to learn more about
us please drop a line, we would be more
than pleased to provide additional information.
Lumbini
Buddha Garden is a quiet and tranquil
guesthouse close to the birthplace of
Lord Buddha, at Lumbini in south-central
Nepal. The garden boasts a private haven
of tranquillity surrounding the guesthouse,
in a sense a spiritual ‘buffer
zone’ from the outside world for
visiting tourists. Visitors to the garden
find an environment where they can meditate
and relax in peace, as well as learning
about Buddhism should they wish to do
so.
