  1. After several months traveling across #India, I finally crossed the border into Nepal through Sonauli and made my way to #Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha.

    Lumbini has a very different atmosphere compared to the chaos I had gotten used to in India. The whole area feels slower, quieter and much more spiritual.

    Walking around the monasteries and temples from different Buddhist countries was one of the things I enjoyed the most there.

  9. Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, is a wonderful chance to visit over a dozen temples built in individual country styles, all in one place.

    In the video we only stopped at 1/3 of them, but it gives you an idea of what can be seen.

  11. Happy to see Lumbini, Nepal using electric trucks.

    The grid here can’t handle mass adoption yet, but one less vehicle polluting helps with baby steps.
