Varanasi Bodh Gaya Tour 4 nights and 5 Days
Duration :
Safari :
Accommodation :
Stay at Wildlife Resort
The itinerary stretch of 5 days encompasses two significant spiritual spots for the believers of Hinduism and Buddhism. The tour begins with arriving and sightseeing at Varanasi and an excursion to Sarnath in Uttar Pradesh. Then the itinerary transfers to Bodh Gaya in Bihar. The Ganga Ghats at Varanasi are the prime tourist interest, especially the evening Ganga Aarti and the Banarasi silk sarees, majorly worn by Hindu brides on their wedding day. Bodh Gaya is of great spiritual prominence for Buddhist followers as Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment at this place and the historical backdrop of the ancient Nalanda University, presently in ruins due to the invasion by Bakhtiyar Khilji.
