Tilaurakot is the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Kapilbastu- the childhood home of Buddha. To reach here, first of all you need to drive (10 hours from Kathmandu; 6 hours from Chitwan) or fly (half an hour from Kathmandu) to Bhairahawa. If you are in India and using the ground transporation, reach Sunauli and cross over the border to Bhairahawa. Then from there, take a jeep to Tilaurakot, around 50 kilometers. It takes around one and half hours to reach Tilaurakot on a jeep.

If you use the public transportation, it takes around 3 hours to reach Taulihawa, the nearest town to Tilaurakot on a local minibus from Bhairahawa.
