As you traverse the diverse landscapes of Nepal, enjoy the views of rolling hills and terraced fields. Upon arrival in Lumbini, take a brief moment to soak in the spiritual ambiance of this sacred site, famous for being the birthplace of Lord Buddha. After a short visit to key attractions like the Maya Devi Temple, transfer to Amaltari, a charming village located about 2-3 hours away. Check into your homestay and be warmly greeted by the local hosts. Spend the evening settling in, enjoying a traditional Nepali dinner, and taking in the peaceful surroundings of Amaltari.
