“The 10-day Buddhist circuit tour with Himalayan Pilgrimage Journey was absolutely enriching. Visiting Lumbini, Bodhgaya, Sarnath and Kushinagar in one journey opened my heart in ways I hadn’t expected. The guide was deeply knowledgeable about Buddhist history and the spiritual significance of each site, especially at Bodh Gaya where the Mahabodhi Temple felt alive with devotion. The accommodation and transport were seamless, and the crossing into Nepal for Lumbini was handled smoothly. I felt supported from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a meaningful pilgrimage.”

“As a traveller interested in spirituality and Eastern traditions, this tour hit all the right notes. The sequence of holy places – Sarnath where Buddha delivered his first sermon, then Bodhgaya, then Kushinagar, and finally Lumbini – offered a beautifully structured journey of awakening. Himalayan Pilgrimage Journey took care of logistics so I could focus on reflection and meditation. My favourite moment was the evening meditation session at Lumbini’s monastic zone. Thank you for a transformative experience.”
