Overview

“After I am no more, men of belief will visit the four places of faith, curiosity, and devotion.”

These are the sacred words ascribed to Lord Buddha himself, leading pilgrims through his life’s most significant chapters. The 11 days Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour package traces these ageless footprints, traversing the four holy places one after another: Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha; Bodhgaya, the place of enlightenment; Sarnath, the location of the very first teachings; and Kushinagar, the place of Maha Parinirvana. This Buddhist Pilgrimage is customized and can be started any time, making it super personalized.

This meticulously crafted tour is not merely a travel; it is a spiritual immersion that combines the elements of ancient history and living traditions with the practice of one’s personal prayer. The trip starts in the bustling city of Delhi. The travelers are welcomed and escorted in a very comfortable manner. The 11 Days Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour Package are designed to cater to pilgrims, seekers, and those simply curious. The trip extends from the greenery of the plains and well-known cities, including Sravasti, Kapilavastu, Patna, Vaishali, Nalanda, Rajgir, and Varanasi, with the ghats that have never been affected by time. At each destination, travelers have the opportunity to see monasteries that date back centuries, stupas that have become the subject of many legends, and temples that are open to people who come to worship and observe the traditions maintained by the locals.

This is not just sightseeing. The experience associated with these Buddhist pilgrimage tour packages is one of getting quiet moments on the banks of the river, attending the experiencing ceremonies at sunrise, and learning the virtues of compassion and wisdom. At the end of the journey, travelers will realize that they have undergone a transformation and have been granted a lot of insights and a deeper understanding of Buddha’s legacy.
