Quick answer: The simplest way from Bhairahawa to Lumbini is to hire a taxi for the day or take a local bus toward the Lumbini main gate. The distance is short, so even a half day is enough to see the core sites if you start early.
By Taxi
Hiring a taxi gives you flexibility. Agree on the price and the duration before you leave. A day hire lets you visit the Maya Devi Temple, several monasteries, and the peace pagoda without rushing.
By Local Bus
Local buses run between Bhairahawa and Lumbini and cost very little. They are slower and less comfortable but fine if you are on a tight budget.
Suggested Timing
Leave Bhairahawa in the morning. Spend a few hours in the Sacred Garden and the monastery zone, then return by late afternoon. If you want a deeper visit, follow our how many days in Lumbini guide.
