Bodhgaya cradle of Hinduism and Buddhism - A spiritual city to discover. Beautiful sites and very serious support with Santosh Kumar. And on a scooter, it’s a must. I recommend. 😊

Mahabodhi Temple: I want to stay there for hours - One of the attractions in Bodh Gaya is the presence of Buddhist temples from various countries, such as the Japanese Temple, Thai Temple, Tibetan Temple, and more. However, the most notable place is undoubtedly the area around the Bodhi tree at the Mahabodhi Temple, where Buddha attained enlightenment. The air there is very clear, making it a truly special place. I felt like I wanted to sit there for hours. Thank you for the kind assistance.

#IndiaTourism - The owner was very funny and the tour was very polite and good. Also, the fact that they rushed over immediately when something happened is a big plus for me. I plan to use their services again in the future.

An unforgettable tour - This was a best tour group, Shanti Tourism, and an excellent Bodhgaya tour we ever have had. First, let talk about the pre-tour communication. This was only the tour group went beyond the tasks list. Beside, informed us all detail of the tour, Kumar kept checking if we need any additional helps. He even offered us additional free airport transfers on different days and even from different hotels that I supposed to pay for. Second, Let talk about the tour. I supposed to have a full-day private guided Bodhgaya tour on a next day. But, Since we arrive to a hotel kind of early in the afternoon, Kumar offered us a free tour that evening to visit the World Heritage. With that chance, we could see the beautiful of temple in the full moon with glowing light. That was one of the tour that was not in the list and he did not have to provide. For sure, we would miss all the pretty of the temple at night with the day tour. In addition to the evening tour, he also offered us another complementary half day tour to visit the Buddha cave to fill out the opened time before going to the airport in the afternoon. We were very please not to miss that incredible Buddha cave. Now, let talk about the tour guide, Bablu. He was very knowledgeable of all places we visited. He explained in detail of the stories. He was very passion with his job and took care of us during the tours. Especially, he was very patient waiting every time we entered the souvenir shops. And last, of course, we could not have a great tour without a safety and patiently drivers who always waited for us at every visited location.
We were lucky and thankful to book this tour with Shanti Tourism. They were not just the tour guides, but also the new friends to us . Highly recommended this tour.

2 days customized trip in Bodigaya, Nalanda and Rajgir - I enjoyed Bodigaya so much with Shanti tour’s perfect plan. My trip for 2 days was above and beyond my expectations. Actually, I consulted with Santosh ji in advance to add Nalanda and Rajgir to my plan. (Accurately speaking, I joined TripAdvisor tour + customized tour.) He perfectly arranged and customized the plan for my schedule and preference. The drive and guide was also awesome.

Perfect day in Bodhgaya! - Shanti Tourism and Kumar provided a wonderful 2 day adventure for me. I was picked up by a private driver from my hotel in Varanasi and driven to Bodhgaya. The next day we explored many of the treasures in Bodhgaya including the Bodhi tree where the Buddha attained enlightenment! I was able to totally immerse myself in the experience. The tour guide was knowledgeable and patient. Most importantly I was able to spend as much time as I wanted at each site/ temple we visited which was exactly what I had hoped for.
Kumar arranged everything including my transfer and airfare back to Delhi the next day. All went perfectly! Thank you to Shanti Tourism and Kumar. Namaste
