Additional Information

Rajgir, also known as the domicile of royalty, derives its name from Raj Griha. This scenic town, set amidst five sacred hills, holds a significant place in India’s tourism landscape, especially for Buddhists and Jains. It’s renowned for two rock-cut caves where Buddha often sought solace and delivered two of his renowned teachings.

Nalanda, another historical city, is situated 14 kms away from Rajgir. This city, where Buddha frequently resided, is one of the oldest inhabited places globally. It’s noted for the Buddhist University of Nalanda, which was once Asia’s premier centre of knowledge. The beautifully aged remnants of the city’s monasteries and temples still encapsulate the serene life of thought and study once practiced there.

Efficient & safe way to visit key historical Buddhism sites near Gaya - Great tour... Guide Mr. Randhir was very knowledgeable and helpful, and we felt very safe in the hands of driver Mr. Pankaj even in the hectic traffic of India! The tour management was also flexible that we were able to do a few more visits with a reasonable additional fee. Thank you for making our day great!
