Your nights, stops & travel days
How to read this route before booking
Read the overnight sequence alongside the day-wise plan. A city appearing in the route may be a visit or transfer stop rather than an additional hotel night. The detailed itinerary explains what is scheduled on each day.
Share your arrival and onward departure times before confirming. Ask which visits remain practical around your connections, where the vehicle drops you and whether local shuttles, guides or activities cost extra.

What is this estimate based on?
The figures are planning allowances, not a supplier contract or a claim that another operator sells this exact itinerary. Hotel and vehicle choices, travel dates and occupancy can change the final price. Child rates, single rooms, tickets, unlisted meals and extra services are separate unless expressly included.
Research reviewed 13 October 2026: published six-day Nepal entry prices around ₹14,500–₹14,999 provide a broad market reference; eight- and twelve-day Buddhist offers vary substantially by group size and land-service scope. We use an independent provisional budget, not a copied competitor fare.

Your detailed itinerary

Private itinerary proposal: final services, conditions and the overnight plan are confirmed in writing.
DAY1Gorakhpur arrival and KushinagarKushinagar · Overnight stop
Confirm whether pickup is from a hotel, railway station or airport before fixing the first visiting window. Continue to Kushinagar for the agreed pilgrimage visits, with time for a meal and check-in. A late arrival should reduce the first day’s sightseeing rather than create an unrealistic promise.
DAY2Kushinagar to LumbiniLumbini · Overnight stop
Complete any agreed Kushinagar visit before the cross-border transfer. Travellers must confirm their individual entry documents and, for international visitors, permission to return to India. Carry the accommodation and onward plan with the group coordinator. Keep the Lumbini arrival evening flexible after border formalities.
DAY3Lumbini Sacred Garden and selected monasteriesLumbini · Overnight stop
Give the Sacred Garden a focused visit, then choose a manageable selection from the wider monastery area. Walking distances and local movement need planning. Time for prayer or quiet reflection should be arranged with respect for site rules and other visitors; the tour does not promise a private ceremony or reserved religious access.
Place previews help you plan. Only visits expressly stated in your confirmed itinerary are included.
DAY4Lumbini to ShravastiShravasti · Overnight stop
Cross back into India using the agreed route and continue towards Shravasti. Treat this as a transfer day, with site visits dependent on actual arrival. The driver, guide and passengers need the same understanding of meal stops and the final hotel. A long religious programme should not be attached to an uncertain border day.
DAY5Shravasti visit and Gorakhpur returnTour ends · Departure day
Discuss the Jetavana-area visit and the time you want for reflection before the return transfer. The tour finishes at the agreed Gorakhpur point. Keep any onward train or flight outside a tight road-arrival assumption; an extra city night can be requested separately.

Your stay & the journey between places
Choose the rooming and transport around the people travelling. Photographs below are planning references from our supplied collection; your booking names the actual arrangements.
Your room & sharing plan
Confirm the property, room category and whether the beds are twin or double. A third adult may use an extra bed or mattress; ask about space and bedding before choosing triple sharing.
- Room occupancy
- Bed arrangement
- Bathroom facilities
Location & hotel facilities
Check the overnight city, access from parking, stairs or lift and meal timings. Tell us about mobility and dietary needs while planning. Any hotel upgrade must be included in your accepted quote.
- Access & walking
- Meal plan
- Upgrade options
Transport matched to your group
Vehicle choice follows your traveller count, luggage and route. Confirm airport or station pickup, daily sightseeing scope and any local vehicle changes.
- People & luggage
- Route & parking
- Local transfers
What to ask about accommodation before payment
Request hotel names or the agreed selection basis, room category, occupancy, meal count and any extra-bed charge. Check whether early check-in, late checkout, heating or air-conditioning, hot water and Wi-Fi are included where you need them. Facilities vary by property and overnight location.
For a family, list adults and child ages with the rooms you require. For friends, choose twin, double or triple arrangements explicitly. A room photograph alone does not establish the allocated category, view or number of beds.
What to ask about the vehicle and access
Confirm passenger seating, luggage space, the pickup and final drop, operating hours and sightseeing scope. A through vehicle may stop at a parking area rather than a temple entrance, old-city lane or hill viewpoint. Ask whether the last section requires walking, a local shuttle or a different vehicle.
Keep optional outings separate from the base programme. A new stop can add waiting, distance, tickets or an overnight change. Request an updated route and total price rather than relying on a verbal addition to the original itinerary.

About your departure place
Gorakhpur · arrival, pickup and onward travel
Gorakhpur is the joining point for the published Nepal group and the starting point for the Nepal road proposals shown here. The meeting point is confirmed with your booking; a rail or airport arrival is not automatically the group pickup. Leave time to collect luggage, reach the meeting point and deal with a delayed incoming connection. An arrival night can be added separately where needed.
Keep the pickup contact and written meeting instructions accessible. Tell the desk about changes to your arrival. Read the practical planning guide →
About the places you’ll visit
KushinagarPlace guide & practical planning+
Kushinagar marks the Buddha's Mahaparinirvana and is one of the core Buddhist pilgrimage places. The Mahaparinirvana Temple and Ramabhar cremation site have distinct significance; a good visit explains that distinction and leaves space for reflection. Its connection with Gorakhpur makes it a practical starting or finishing stage for an eastern Uttar Pradesh pilgrimage.
Explore Kushinagar →LumbiniPlace guide & practical planning+
Lumbini is a pilgrimage destination with a clear purpose: the birthplace of the Buddha. The Maya Devi sacred area and Ashoka pillar give the visit its historical focus, while the wider monastic landscape invites a slower pace. It can feature in a Nepal holiday or a dedicated India–Nepal Buddhist circuit, but those two visits need different amounts of time.
Explore Lumbini →ShravastiPlace guide & practical planning+
Shravasti offers a quieter stage of a Buddhist pilgrimage, centred on the Jetavana area and the tradition of the Buddha's teaching here. It is well suited to travellers who value time in the landscape rather than a dense sequence of city attractions. Its role in the circuit should be chosen with the onward route in mind.

Tour details & practical planning
01A regional pilgrimage with a full Lumbini day
This programme is useful when Gorakhpur is your practical arrival point and the aim is Kushinagar, Lumbini and Shravasti.
This programme is useful when Gorakhpur is your practical arrival point and the aim is Kushinagar, Lumbini and Shravasti. It does not include Bodh Gaya or Sarnath. The Lumbini overnight arrangement separates the visiting day from the border transfers, which matters when pilgrimage time is a priority.
Tell the desk if a language guide, recitation time or particular monastery is essential. Confirm both-country entry and Indian re-entry before payment where applicable. If the full four-place Buddhist circuit is your objective, compare the eight-day proposal instead of stretching this regional programme.
02Why these three pilgrimage places belong together
The route concentrates on the Gorakhpur region and Lumbini rather than extending to every major Buddhist site.
The route concentrates on the Gorakhpur region and Lumbini rather than extending to every major Buddhist site. It suits travellers who already visited Bodh Gaya or want a shorter regional journey. Two Lumbini nights allow a full day between the cross-border transfers.
03International visitors need a return-entry plan
This itinerary leaves India and returns.
This itinerary leaves India and returns. A visa or entry permission for one country does not establish permission for the other or for re-entry. Check the exact nationality, documents and intended land crossing with official authorities before booking non-refundable services.
04Guide language and pilgrimage priorities
Tell the desk whether the group wants historical interpretation, time for recitation or a quieter visit.
Tell the desk whether the group wants historical interpretation, time for recitation or a quieter visit. A language-speaking guide, religious leader or monastery meeting is not automatic. These services require explicit confirmation and may change the budget.
05Rooms, meals and the group-size budget
The figures below are provisional adult planning allowances for standard twin-sharing rooms, breakfast and private road transport.
The figures below are provisional adult planning allowances for standard twin-sharing rooms, breakfast and private road transport. A smaller party carries a larger vehicle share per person. Exact properties, vehicle category, taxes and any guiding service require a dated quotation before payment.
Ask for every overnight location and the proposed bedding. Children, single rooms, extra beds, activity tickets and unlisted meals are priced separately unless included in writing. A website enquiry does not hold a vehicle, room or seat.
06Payment, changes and cancellation
Request the payment schedule and supplier cancellation conditions with the final quotation.
Request the payment schedule and supplier cancellation conditions with the final quotation. The published Nepal fixed-departure cancellation table is not automatically the policy for this private proposal. Keep the written itinerary, service list and acknowledgement together.
If you want to change a stop or add a night, do it before confirming onward transport. Extra vehicle days and hotel nights can change the total, and unused booked services may carry supplier charges. Material changes should be agreed in writing.

Cancellation & refund policy
Private booking cancellation conditions
