The main reason behind a Buddhist culture tour in Nepal is that Buddhism started in Nepal with the birth of Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who was born to Royal Family in Nepal in the 600BC. When he was born a great sage came down from the hills and told his father that he would either be a great emperor or a great spiritual teacher. The father wanted his son to be a great emperor so he vowed to shield his son from all suffering and misery of the world, and kept him inside the walls of the palace where he lived a life of luxury and comfort. However, it was not long before his bubble was cracked open, when he went out of palace and he had four sightings of an aged man, a sick man, and a dead body. His fourth vision was of a peaceful monk (one who denies luxury and comfort). Seeing the monk’s peacefulness, he decided to become an ascetic himself. He decided not to go back until he solved the problem. So Siddhartha Gautama set out in the forest in search of answers. He sat down and meditated under a Pipal tree and attained enlightenment after 40 days on the full night, from there on they called him the Buddha the enlightened one. The Nepal Buddhist circuit tour covers all the important places relating to Buddhism.
