Overview of your Bodhgaya tour

Join me on this tour of Bodh Gaya, the most important Buddhist pilgrimage destination in the world. Located in the state of Bihar, India, it's here that Prince Siddhartha attained enlightenment beneath a bodhi tree (Ficus tree) 2600 years ago and became Buddha (the 'Awakened One'). The exact spot is now marked by the sprawling Mahabodhi temple complex (UNESCO World Heritage). In this very serene place, we'll see monks from all over the world sitting at the foot of an enormous carved Buddha statue, reading holy scriptures, and in deep contemplation. The town is also home to dozens of Buddhist monasteries, maintained by various Buddhist countries that I'll show you. I truly believe that travel is all about self-discovery and self-evolution and a tour with me will give you the most worthwhile and enriching experience with in-depth knowledge, so let me take you on a tour of Buddhists India and make your trip memorable and enlightened.
