Why Tilaurakot?

Tilaurakot is a neighborhood in Kapilvastu Municipality in Kapilvastu District, in the Lumbini Province of southern Nepal. Previously, it was a Village Development Committee. It is situated 25 kilometers northwest of the Maya Devi Temple in Lumbini and 4.5 kilometers southeast of Nigali Sagar in Nigalihawa. From Kathmandu, it is about 307 km and takes approximately 10 hours.

Tilaurakot may be the location of the ancient Shakyan city of Kapilavastu, where Gautama Buddha spent the first 29 years of his life, as identified by researchers. It sits in a peaceful meadow on the banks of the Banganga River. The site was listed as a UNESCO tentative site in 1996 by the Nepalese government.

History

Tilaurakot was discovered by P.C. Mukherji in 1899 while tracing the journey of two Chinese monks. According to history, they visited Tilaurakot in the 3rd and 6th centuries AD. Archaeologists believe that it was the civic center from the 9th century BC to the 3rd Century AD. Experts have discovered palaces, temples, monuments, sculptures, ponds, and roads, and some believe that the place was the capital of the Shakya Kingdom and the hometown of Buddha. Some of the objects found during the excavation are kept in the Kapilvastu Museum near Tilaurakot, displayed for visitors.

Kapilvastu is now being developed as an International Buddhist Pilgrimage Centre. There is a big stupa, where relics of Buddha were discovered during excavations. Thousands of local and international tourists visit this place. You should not miss this while visiting Lumbini (the birthplace of Gautam Buddha). You can learn and explore the history of Lord Buddha. For your visit to be easy and comfortable, we have started a vehicle renting service from Lumbini to Tilaurakot.
