This UNESCO World Heritage-listed site marks the sacred ground where Buddha attained enlightenment and developed his life philosophy, making it the spiritual heart of Bodhgaya.

Next, visit the Bodhi Tree – the most sacred tree on Earth, under which Prince Siddhartha, the founder of Buddhism, achieved enlightenment. It is said that Buddha stared at the tree in awe and gratitude after his enlightenment.

Then, see the Great Buddha Statue – a 25m-high Japanese-style statue that towers above a beautiful garden at the end of the temple. This impressive monument, unveiled by the Dalai Lama in 1989, is surrounded by 10 smaller sculptures of Buddha’s disciples. The statue is partially hollow and is said to contain around 20,000 bronze Buddhas.

Afterwards, return to your hotel and stay overnight.
