Lumbini: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
Lumbini is the village where Siddhârta Gautama, who later became known as Buddha, was born. It's situated in southern Nepal, close to the Indian border.
My suggestion
Hire a bike to tour the park - it's the best way to cover ground, so you can get to see all the temples.

My suggestion
Don't let the charmless town put you off - go straight to the holy site! And, if there is a pilgrimage, which happens regularly, then make sure you reserve a room as quickly as possible.
