    Lumbini- Birh place of Buddha
    I booked Lumbini tour at the very last moment with the suggestion of Eyes on Nepal. As they promise, they were on time to pick me up from Kathmandu hotel. My flight tickets, local transportation and guide were all well arranged. Guide Manish was very handy and skilled guide. And he is local too. He explained me all about Lumbini and Buddha. I enjoyed a short meditation in lumbini peace garden with Manish.
