The tour of Sarnath was organised very well. An air-conditioned car picked us up from the hotel lobby with a driver and a guide. Our guide Prakash was brilliant and gave us a wonderful experience of sarnath. We visited the legendary pillar of Ashoka, the bodhi tree and many more sites connected with the Buddha. Lunch was organised at a local restaurant and it was very good. A very memorable trip and highly recommended.
