However, people of all faiths and religions have dreams of visiting the revered spots as a pilgrim to invoke the blessings of their Gods and obtain forgiveness for all their sins and escape the divine wrath.

Nepal is home to two of these holy places. These places are directly related with Lord Gautam Buddha. Lumbini, the first and more important amongst the two is the birth place of Gautam Buddha while Kapilavastu was the place where He grew up, witnessed pain and sorrow of life and ultimately decided to give up everything in search of enlightenment.
