EXPERIENCE RATING
New on EvynxMahabodhi Temple, monastery quarter and Sujata Stupa - one guide, two full days.
About this experience
Two guided days inside Bodh Gaya for travellers already arranging their own stay - a full first day at the Mahabodhi Temple complex, where the Buddha attained enlightenment beneath the Bodhi Tree, followed by a second day through the international monastery quarter built by Bhutan, Thailand and Japan, the Great Buddha Statue, and Sujata Stupa across the dry Niranjana riverbed, where a village offering of rice-milk is said to have preceded the enlightenment itself. A private guide and vehicle stay with you across both days, moving between the town's most sacred site and its wider Buddhist heritage without re-briefing a new guide each morning.
Highlights
- Mahabodhi Temple - 55-metre spire over the Buddha's enlightenment site, UNESCO listed since 2002
- Bodhi Tree - meditation beneath a direct descendant of the original enlightenment tree
- International Monastery Quarter - Bhutanese, Thai and Japanese temples in one small town
- Great Buddha Statue - 18.5-metre seated figure consecrated by the Dalai Lama in 1989
- Sujata Stupa - marks the rice-milk offering that broke Buddha's fast before enlightenment
