Hordes of travellers hurry through this ancient part of the Tarai, west of Chitwan; few take the time to look around. It's best known, unfairly, for Sonauli , the main tourist border crossing between Nepal and India. Yet only 20km away is one of Nepal's premier destinations, Lumbini , birthplace of the Buddha and the site of ruins going back almost three thousand years. Two main highways - the Siddhartha and the Mahendra - connect the region with Pokhara and the rest of the Tarai, and buses to Sonauli are frequent. The journey to Lumbini is a bit taxing, but well worth the extra effort. Accommodation and food here, as in most other parts of the Tarai, are readily available but usually very simple
