Exploring the Mahabodhi Temple Complex
First on the list is the Mahabodhi Temple excursion. The immense temple complex houses many fascinating locations, out of which the Mahabodhi Temple holds the most significance. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for being one of the 4 locations related to the life of Buddha. The 55-meter-tall shrine is an architectural marvel worth visiting. Next, you will head to the famous Bodhi Temple. It is believed to be the direct descendant of the original Bodhi tree under which Lord Buddha sat during his time in Bodh Gaya.
Witnessing the Great Buddha Statue
After exploring the divine temple and tree, we’ll move towards another popular landmark in the Varanasi to Bodh Gaya tour, i.e., the Great Buddha Statue. The 80-feet-tall statue took seven years to build and is a popular tourist attraction.
Visiting Various Monasteries
Finally, you’ll go on a trip to Buddhist and Tibetan monasteries around Bodh Gaya. One of the most unique aspects of Bodh Gaya is that it houses several different temples and monasteries built by the people of Tibet, Nepal, Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Bhutan, and China, among others. From the Burmese Vihara Monastery to Indosan Nippon Japanese Temple and Chinese Temple, you will come across many landmarks known for their eye-catching architecture and decorative style.
