| About Bodhgaya Tourism |
An important city of Hindu pilgrimage, Bodh Gaya, is at a distance of 7miles from Gaya.
Of the four sacred pilgrimage sites of Buddhism, this is said to be the
second most revered, since Buddha attained enlightenment here. Bodhgaya also happens to be an archaeologist's paradise, with recent excavations tracing it back to the Neolithic Age of 2,500 BC.

 Kunal, Bangalore | 24th November 2008
Kunal Sinha's view of Bodh Gaya
| Overview of the destinationExcellent place for a peaceful afternoon. Buddhist monks and foreigner tourists all over the place. Suddenly you feel very relaxed and very calm after visiting Food, sight-seeing and shopping Not many. You can try Hotel Sujata's restaurant. It is better amongst the few options available. When in Gaya town, visit Mangla Gowri temple, Vishnupad Activities & things to do Eating, travelling on cycle rickshaw. Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc. Warnings - don't flaunt expensive gadgets / jewellery. Be most ordinarily dressed. |
