The “Kashi & Gaya Yatra” package is perfect for people looking to explore the most holistic exploration through Siddhartha Gautama’s journey. While in Varanasi, we’ll go to Sarnath, where Buddha was said to have taught Dharma the first time. We won’t miss the beautiful Ghats in Varanasi and the fantastic evening Ganga Aarti. And then, in Bodhgaya, we’ll go to Mahabodhi Temple Complex in Bodhgaya, revered as the place where Gautama Buddha achieved enlightenment. The ancient temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and features architectural wonders, but don’t let this make you think the ancient university of Nalanda won’t surprise you. As the center of education in the ancient world, you’ll love walking through the millennium-old ruins. We’ll also visit the capital city of ancient kingdom Magadha, Rajgir.
