Buddha Jayanti falls on May 16, 2022

Buddha Jayanti also known as Buddha Purnima is a festival celebrated as the birthday of Lord Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. Gautama Buddha is one of the most popular iconic figures in human history for the promotion of Peace, Love, and Equality.

Born in 623 BC in the sacred land of Kapilbastu in Nepal as a prince to king Śuddhodana and Queen Maya. Siddhartha Gautama was the first given name to the prince. He spends his luxurious life in the palace for 29 years.

Later he got married to princess Yāsodharā and begetting a son named Rahul. Gautama was distracted by the suffering and death of living beings and was desperate to find the reason for the cause and effect of all those sufferings.

Thus, at the age of 29, he gave up his lavish life and went into the wood to find the truth through meditating and started leading an ascetic life. After 6 years of strong penance and meditation, finally at the age of 35 Gautama Buddha was Enlighted and was thus named ‘Lord Buddha’.

Lord Buddha started teaching people about life and death, the purpose of birth, and the cause of suffering. He traveled to the Indian sub-continent, teaching people about his finding and the number of followers started to increase and now Buddhism as a philosophy has traveled worldwide.

Buddha taught till the age of 80 before he attained nirvana (death) and his teaching is always in demand and need in this 21st century. He spread the message of love and brotherhood and now the world where we live desperately needs to follow his teaching, to make this world a living place for all sentient beings.

Now, Buddhism is one of the fastest-growing religions with millions of followers and the philosophy is taught everywhere in schools and in universities. This indicates the need and importance of Buddhism as a philosophy and will be there until we personally implement it in our life. Thus, recognizing the importance of Buddhism, Lord Buddha is also titled ‘The Light of Asia’.

In Nepal, Buddha Purnima or Buddha Jayanti is an official holiday and is celebrated in every nook and corner. Hindu philosophy regards Buddha as one of the 9th reincarnations of Lord Vishnu, who is also regarded as Lord of Preserver’.

There are numerous holy sites in and around Kathmandu valley, where Buddha Jayanti is celebrated. People visit monasteries, temples, Gumbas to pay homage to Lord Buddha for his gift to humanity.

They also visit monks to take blessings and attain religious procession towards holy sites related to Buddhism.

If you want to observe and be part of the great celebration of Lod Buddha, join the team of Discover Altitude and visit some of the highly recommended sites which include Mitra Park Swyambhunath Stupa, Bouddhanath Stupa, and Patan for a day tour.

Day 1:Touring abound Kathmandu.

    8 AM: Pick up from your hotel and drive towards Mitra Park. Mitra Park is a popular pilgrimage site with the statue of Lord Buddha and Tara. Exploring around, you will drive towards the base of Swyambhu Nath stupa, which lies on the top of a hillock and is a UNESCO site.

    Climbing 365 steep uphill, visiting the monastery, spinning praying wheel, lighting lamps accompanied by hundreds to reach the top. Here you will visit the monastery, temple, and the Swyambhu Nath stupa and observe the ritual celebration.

    Thousands of devotees will take part in this celebration on this great day which falls once a year. So, be prepared with the crowd and also with the living monkeys around thousands in numbers.

    Exploring the vast area around and observing celebrations of different ethnic groups, we will descend to visit Shantipur and Laxmi Temple in our car.

    11-12 AM: Now, you will visit Bouddha Nath another holy Buddhist pilgrimage site in Nepal. Bouddha Nath is one of the popular destinations and is UNESCO listed Heritage site. There are numerous different Buddhist monasteries built by different sects of Buddhist followers.

    This is the only day when devotees are allowed to climb up to the basement of the Great Stupa of Bouddha Nath. Here, you will be visiting different monasteries and observing live ritual ceremonies conducted. Spinning the praying wheel, and hanging the praying flag around will be one of the aesthetic works to be done.

    After our ritual observation, we will climb somewhere on the rooftop of the restaurant to have some tea/coffee and look around the aerial view of the stupa and how devotees celebrate the great day.

    Note: If time permits, we will also visit the Patan area, the surrounding Monastery, and the Palace square. As our main intention is to observe the celebration of Buddha Jayanti, we will be targeting three important places which are Mitra Park, Swyambhu Nath Stupa, and Bouddhanath Stupa.

    It’s a Interesting tour.

    Booked for the Bhaktapur a day tour with discover Altitude and we were very satisfied with the service. The car was clean and comfortable and especially our guide Kumar with great knowledge about Nepal's history made our tour interesting. He knew all about each temple and square we visited.

    Excellent!

    I am not an expert on trekking but I love it. From my experience, if you have a plan to trek, the important is you have to find a good guide and travel agency you can trust. I am lucky I found both. So if you have a plan in mind to go to Nepal.. just try to contact them. I believe that you will imprese on their service. 5 trips in Nepal since 2017.. until now I am looking forward to going back to trek with them again 😊
