Discover the two great Unesco World heritage sites of Bihar on this two-days tour
Overview of your Bodhgaya tour
Bihar occupied an important position in the early history of India. For centuries it was the principal seat of imperial powers and the main focus of Indian culture and civilization. In this tour, I'll take you to discover the two great UNESCO World Heritage sites of Bihar. Bodh Gaya, the most important Buddhist pilgrimage destination in the world. It's here that Lord Buddha became enlightened during intense meditation under a Bodhi tree.

This town houses one of the world's oldest and finest residential universities which itself was an architectural masterpiece and one can still feel it. I am specialized in conducting Buddhist/Cultural tours so a tour with me will give you the most worthwhile and enriching experience with in-depth knowledge so come and join me to experience the hypnotic world of the ancient era.
