Reviews
We had a memorable visit to Bodhgaya and Varanasi two of most sacred places in India. We enjoyed long, yet comfortable journey with views of nature and glimpses into local life. Our guide Anmol was knowledgeable, engaging and very helpful and we also had another guide at the Mahabodhi Temple, who detailed about temple's rich history. The return journey with visit to Varanasi made our evening truly unforgettable.
nice experience to see exactly where buddah received incarnation. a daytrip i recommend if you are really interested in buddhism. just manage expectations that it is about a 4 hour drive one way to get here. i also want to commend our tour guide Anmol because i suddenly felt sick during the trip and he made sure to act fast in order to help me feel better. because of this, i didnt have to go through much pain because of him.
We were picked up at the hotel at 5:30 AM, then headed to Bodh Gaya. On the way, we stopped at a service area for about 30 minutes for breakfast. The drive to Bodh Gaya, including the break, took about 5 hours. In Bodh Gaya, we visited the Japanese Temple, Thai Temple, the Great Buddha statue, and the Mahabodhi Temple. It was a shame we couldn't take photos at the Mahabodhi Temple because cell phones weren't allowed, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide, Ritu, explained everything very thoroughly. On the way back, we stopped at the same service area for lunch, and then the tour concluded. It was a wonderful experience.
The unique and peacful feeling in our buddhist enlightment area remind me to be mindful. I would like to recommend the trip to Bodh gaya in your india trip
A great experience with our guide Anmol; we received clear explanations about the temples we visited.
