Bodh Gaya — 1 Night / 2 Days Tour
Bihar · Buddhist pilgrimage — The Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya is where the Buddha is held to have attained enlightenment, and the Mahabodhi Temple around it is a UNESCO site and one of the four principal Buddhist pilgrimage places. What makes the town unusual is the ring of monasteries built by Buddhist nations — Thai, Bhutanese, Japanese, Tibetan, Burmese — each in its own national architecture, within walking distance of each other. Visiting them in an afternoon is the closest thing to a tour of Buddhist Asia available in one place. Go at dawn when monks from every tradition are circumambulating together; it is quiet and it is the reason to stay overnight rather than pass through from Gaya. This 1-night tour is built around the destination's key sights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework, confirmed with you at quotation.

Questions
Package FAQs
When do the Tibetan teachings happen?
The Dalai Lama has historically taught at Bodh Gaya in December or January, though not every year. Dates are announced late and accommodation vanishes immediately — ask us early if this is why you are going.
Is Bodh Gaya worth an overnight?
Yes. The temple at dawn is a different place from the temple at midday, and a day trip from Gaya misses it entirely.
Is this a fixed itinerary or can it be customised?
It is a flexible framework built around Bodh Gaya's key sights. The exact day-by-day plan, specific hotels and final inclusions are tailored to your dates, pace and party at the quotation stage — add nights, nearby destinations or activities as you wish.
How is the price calculated?
On enquiry. We price your exact party, dates, hotel category and inclusions rather than publish an average that changes the moment you ask. A consultant replies within one working day; no payment is required for a quote.
How do we get there and get around?
Bodh Gaya is served by Gaya (GAY), 12 km (rail: Gaya Junction, 17 km). All local transfers and sightseeing are by private air-conditioned car; flights or trains can be added to your quote.
