Places to See near Bodh Gaya

Places to See near Bodh GayaBodh Gaya, the place where Gautam Sidhartha achieved enlightenment, is an important pilgrimage for Buddhists around the globe. Bodh Gaya has a lot to offer to its tourists in the form of tourist destinations. Besides Bodh Gaya, there are many places of tourist importance near the holy town. Places like Sonepur, Nalanda, Rajgir, and Patna are important excursions.

The history of Bodh Gaya is as old as old is the history of Buddhism per say, and even older than that. As written sources say the place had a flourishing and civilized population, assumptions are that the place was the part of sixteen republics. Why Gautam Sidhartha chose the place for meditation is obviously out of suspicion. The place is so quaint and peaceful that tourists themselves start feeling to do meditation.

Sonepur

Barabar Caves
The caves located 57 Kms from Gaya are some earliest carved out Buddhist caves. The interior of these caves is chiseled to a wonderful polish. Excellency of the carvings can be imagined by looking at these cave carves. The third century carved these caves are example of skills of the Indian mason.
