‘Namaste’
Welcome to Lumbini, a unique experience capturing the cultural
splendour and culinary richness of a preserved civilisation largely
untouched by modern influences - Nepal.

Although perhaps Nepal’s most widely known attraction is the snow
covered peak of Sagamartha (Mt Everest), Nepal is also a country rich in history
and Lumbini is recognised as the birthplace of Prince Siddartha Gautam,
who later became Lord Bhudda, The Enlightened One.

Although Nepal is the land of the Gurkhas who are a brave army, Lumbini
is a sacred place of pilgrimage for Buddhists from all over the world, standing
on a equal footing with holy places sacred to other world religions.

Lumbini is situated in the foothills of Churiya, some 300km southwest
of capital Kathmandu. In the early centuries Buddhism of Nepal most likely
developed along the lines of North India, and Nepal has been heavily influenced
by Indian culture whilst retaining its own unique identity. The geographic and
demographic diversity along with its colourful history has developed the Nepalese
cuisine into a rich fusion of Indian and Tibetan flavours.

Here at Lumbini we aim to provide you with authenticity whilst continuing
the evolution of Nepalese cuisine with your health in mind. We use only
cholesterol free cooking and olive oils, and ensure that the salt, fat and
calorie content of our meals is optimised for taste and for your heart.
