Rajgir Sightseeing, Quick Facts, History, Packages, Tours & Excursions

Jivakas Mango Garden is the site of the royal dispensary of Jivaka, the royal physician to whom Buddha was once brought to get his wounds dressed in the time of King Bimbisara.

Monastery Venuvana Vihara was constructed on the orders of King Bimbisara for Lord Buddha to reside in and is considered his first offering to the Lord as a disciple.

You can explore King Ajatashatru's Fort, built in the 6th century AD and see the Stupa which was built by him during his reign.  

An ancient 40 km wall was known to encircle the city and was built of fitted stones. The remnants of this magnificent pre-Mauryan structure are worth seeing.

The place where Lord Buddha preached to his disciples is known as Griddhakuta (Vulture's Peak). To commemorate this holy site, the Buddhist Mission in Japan helped construct the Peace Pagoda or Shanti Stupa. You go on the aerial lift to this pagoda, and also enjoy seeing Rajgir city at a height.

Other Activities

Trek and explore the caves in the surrounding hills. You can even take a dip in the hot water springs here, as they are known to have curative properties.

Ramble through the ancient ruins and see the places influenced by Mahavir and Buddha eons ago.
