Summary:
I highly recommend working with Raj on your visit to Lumbini. Raj is thorough, knowledgeable, and is the source of great conversation. He did a wonderful job explaining the historical and theological aspects of Buddhism and Lumbini. The site itself is well worth the full day visit, but I didn't find it necessary to stay overnight (I flew in from Kathmandu early in the morning and flew back later afternoon). Please consider Raj for your visit.

Summary:
It was a very interesting and perfect experience. We were guided by Raj, who has very rich knowledge and experience of Buddhism, meditation and yoga. We visited the place where the Buddha was born and Buddhist temples& monastery built by different countries. We learned a lot. In the evening, at our request, the guide also gave us a meditation experience and taught us daily yoga.
In addition, special thanks to the guide Raj who helped me find the lost Apple Watch. He is a very reliable and excellent guide, thank you!
