Trip Overview

In fact, the journey of Lord Buddha, from his birthplace in Lumbini to his enlightenment in Bodhgaya and then to Sarnath, has immense significance in Buddhist philosophy and pilgrimage. The saying attributed to him, "It is better to travel than to arrive," reflects the emphasis on the journey itself rather than the destination, reflecting the spiritual path of self-discovery and enlightenment.Lumbini, located in modern-day Nepal, is revered as the birthplace of Prince Siddhartha, who would later be known as Buddha. Visitors to Lumbini can explore the sacred garden, monastery ruins and the Maya Devi Temple, which marks the birthplace of Buddha.Bodhgaya, in the Indian state of Bihar, is where Siddhartha achieved enlightenment while meditating under the Bodhi tree. This event is considered the turning point in Buddhist history. Today, Bodhgaya is home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Mahabodhi temple complex, which attracts pilgrims and tourists from all over the world.Sarnath, near Varanasi (also known as Benares), is where Buddha delivered his first sermon, known as the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, or "Turning the Wheel of Dharma." This sermon expounded the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, forming the central teachings of Buddhism. Sarnath is also home to the Dhamek Stupa, which marks the place where Buddha taught his first disciples.
