Meditate in the Sacred Spots of Nepal and India

Travel to India and Nepal to follow the life of Buddha and meditate in the many sacred places. Take in Lumbini in Nepal where the Buddha was born; Bodhgaya in India, the place of the Buddha’s Enlightenment; Sarnath, where the Buddha preached his first sermon; Kapilavastu – where the Lord spent the first thirty years of his life; and Kushinaga where the Buddha departed for Nirvana.

Also visit Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities in the world with its narrow winding lanes and miles and miles of ghats along the River Ganges where pilgrims perform ritual ablutions. In Nepal visit Kathmandu’s Durbar Square full of ancient pagodas and palaces, and then walk up to the ancient Swayambhunath Stupa, Kathmandu’s most important Buddhist shrine. Its lofty white dome and glittering golden spire are visible for many miles while the sleepy, all-seeing Buddha eyes stare out over the valley.
