SELF-GUIDED TOUR
Our self-guided tours are the best way to explore the Great Stupa for visitors and groups of less than 10 people.
Begin in our Visitor Centre where you’ll view an introductory film about who we are and how we came to be in Bendigo. Explore the interfaith Peace Park with your Walking Tour Map. Inside the Great Stupa learn about Buddhist culture and future plans for the project from one of our friendly and knowledgeable guides; all while viewing beautiful relics and statues, including the Jade Buddha for Universal Peace.
