About this trip
Vaishali, one of the world's earliest republics, is a great Buddhist and Jain site north of Patna — the Ashokan lion pillar at Kolhua, the Relic and Coronation stupas, the birthplace of Lord Mahavira, and the colossal Kesaria stupa, among the tallest Buddhist stupas in the world. This tour takes in the pillar, stupas and sacred sites of Vaishali and Kesaria, a serene pilgrimage-and-heritage journey in the Buddhist heartland. Pricing is confirmed at quotation.
