In the footsteps of the Buddha
Stephen A,Jan 6, 2025
- Review from Viator
5.00For anyone interested in the life of the Buddha this tour is a must. The major highlight is Vulture Peak where the Buddha lived for many years and the caves on top of the mountain where he and some of his closest disciples meditated and slept. The ruins of Nalanda Buddhist University and the Bamboo Grove where Buddha spent many rainy seasons are also must sees. Our guide Mr. Biru was excellent; very good driver and comfortable car, easy communication with the tour organizer. Very highly recommended.
