Itinerary
- Day 1
Bodhgaya to Nalanda to Rajgir
You'll start at 8:00 AM from your Bodhgaya hotel and head toward Nalanda to spend time at the archaeological museum and the UNESCO-listed university ruins scattered across the site. The ruins give you a real sense of what this ancient center of learning looked like centuries ago. After grabbing lunch at a local restaurant, you'll travel to Rajgir, which is pretty close by. Once there, you'll check out Venuvana Vihara monastery before taking the cable car up Gridhakuta Hill for views across the valley and surrounding landscape. From there, you can walk through Saptaparni Cave and then head to the Hot Springs to relax for a bit before heading back to your hotel by evening.
