Nepal may be a Hindu country but it is also the birth place of Lord Buddha, founder of Buddhism. So, thousands of people each year visit Lumbini, the birth place of Buddha. For Buddhists, it is a place of immense religious value. Considering its historical importance, Lumbini is included in the UNESCO's World's Heritage Sites.
Unfortunately, Nepal was plagued with a civil war in the last few years. Fortunately, 2007 was a year of peace and stability for the country. This has resulted into a significance increase in the arrival of tourists in Lumbini.

It is good news for people living in Lumbini. More tourists will bring more money for the region and create more jobs there. My request to Nepalese government is to develop the infrastructure in Lumbini. It is some far from the capital city.
