Buddhist Pilgrimage

Buddhism, a faith founded by Siddhartha Gautama (known as the Buddha), emerged over 2,500 years ago in India. Today, with approximately 470 million followers, Buddhism is considered one of the major world religions. The birthplace of the Buddha was Lumbini, located in what is now Nepal, and he passed away around the age of 80 in Kushinagara, India.

After the Buddha’s death, Buddhism spread throughout South Asia within the following five centuries. Over the course of the next two millennia, it expanded into Central, Southeast, and East Asia, as well as Eastern Europe. Pakistan, in particular, has been a significant center for Buddhism, attracting a large population of pilgrims, learners, and devotees to destinations such as Taxila and Swat.

Our meticulously planned seven-day trip aims to uncover the remarkable remnants of Buddhism in Pakistan. This land, once a flourishing hub of the faith and a prominent center of learning for monks, holds awe-inspiring Buddhist remains. Throughout the journey, you will have the opportunity to explore these historically significant sites, delve into the rich history and teachings of Buddhism, and witness the cultural impact of this ancient religion in the region.
