The Buddhist Circuit in Nepal  or the Buddhist Pilgrimage site tour in Nepal is a tour of important Buddhist shrines of Nepal.  Starting with one of the oldest stupas ‘Swayambhunath’ and one of the biggest stupas ‘Boudhanath’ in Kathmandu, we proceed towards the birth place of Lord Buddha, Lumbini, which holds great importance for the followers of Buddhism located all around the world.

This trip also includes other sites like Tilaurakot, Kudan, Gothihawa, Nigilhawa and Sagarhawa, that provide additional information about the important events in the life of Buddha.
