About Bihar

Bihar is where the Buddha attained enlightenment. Bodh Gaya's Mahabodhi Temple, Rajgir's hills and Nalanda's ruined monastic university form the heart of the Buddhist circuit, and the same roads lead to Varanasi in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.It suits pilgrims, history lovers and anyone interested in the origins of Buddhism. Facilities are simpler than in better-known states, so a guided, planned route works best.
