Key Highlights of Buddhist tour to Varanasi Bodhgaya Rajgir Nalanda from Delhi:
Early morning, at approximately 04:15 AM, our driver will pickup you from your hotel in Delhi, and transfer to IGI Airport New Delhi to board a flight to Varanasi. Upon arrival at Varanasi Airport around 08:30 AM, our local tour guide will welcome you, and transfer to hotel for breakfast and fresh-n-up. After fresh-n-up, proceed to Sarnath, a site of immense significance for Buddhists. Here, Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon after attaining enlightenment, laying the foundation for Buddhism. Begin your exploration at the Sarnath Archaeological Site, home to the revered Dhamek Stupa and the legendary Ashoka Pillar. Next, visit Mulagandha Kuti Vihar, a modern temple adorned with exquisite murals illustrating the life of Buddha. Continue to the Sarnath Archaeological Museum, which houses remarkable artifacts from the region. Then, visit Chaukhandi Stupa, marking the site where Lord Buddha first met his disciples.
Later, you can choose to visit the famous Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, also called the Golden Temple. For foreign tourists, this visit is limited to viewing the temple from outside. Later in the evening, experience the enchanting Aarti ceremony along the serene banks of the River Ganges. After this memorable experience, return to your hotel for a restful overnight stay.
Early morning, embark on a peaceful boat ride along the River Ganges, where you can witness the sunrise and observe the spiritual rituals unfolding along the ghats. Later get back to the hotel for breakfast. After breakfast at the hotel, embark on drive to Bodh Gaya, a key Buddhist pilgrimage site where Buddha achieved enlightenment under the revered Bodhi Tree. Upon arrival, visit Sujata Kuti, the house of Sujata, who offered Buddha rice pudding—an act that ended his years of asceticism and guided him toward enlightenment. Also, visit to the Great Buddha Statue, an impressive 80-foot tall depiction of Buddha in a meditative pose.
