Bihar Tour
2012 January! last few months to say goodbye the college life forever. One Saturday evening I was sitting before Computer writing few lines for Project and One of my friends came to me and said let's plan for a small trip nearby. So, we planned for a trip to Bihar (A State of India).How to Reach: It is well connected with Air and Train. Nearest Airport and Railway Station is Patna and Gaya.
Best Time Visit: October to March is the best time visit. April to June is summer and it is very hot during Day time. July to September is rainy season there.
We had plan to visit Rajgir, Bodhgaya, Pawapuri and Nalanda during our visit.
Day 1: On the first day we visited Rajgir. There are some good hotels available here. First day spent visiting the local areas. You can visit Buddha Mandirs, Pandu Pokhar, Shanti Stupa, Jain Temple and many more places.
Day 2: Next day we went visit Bodhgaya. It is 70 kms from Rajgir. The best places to visit here are Mahabodhi Temple, Animesh Locahn Chaitya, Bodhi Tree, Chankramana, 80ft Status of Budhha, Budhha Lotus Tank and Many more. We returned to Rajgir at night visiting all these places.


Day 3: Today we headed to Pawapuri. It is 30 kms from Rajgir. There are few places to visit there. It is famous for various festivals out there.
Rajgir Dance festival: Oct 24 to Oct 26.
Chath Puja: October - November
Various arts and Crafts are available there too.


Day 4: The final destination in our list is Nalanda. The University of ancient India. It was established in 5th Century AD. You can see the ruins of the University. It is a huge campus of that time. There you can get a guide to know the significance of each of the building, how the later Emperors developed the Nalanda. The Museums out there represent the culture and lifestyle of the people back then. It would be nice and greatest experience for anyone and especially for those are coming from History background.
So, on day 4 we had a return booking to Kolkata and took Train at night from Rajgir Station to reach Howrah next day morning.
The Sonepur Mela held around November is the largest cattle fair in Asia. your article very helpful and interesting. thank you for sharing beautiful article.
