21 Best Places To Visit In Rajgir Nalanda with Tour Plan

After visiting many places in Bodhgaya, we now went on the Rajgir tour. Check the Bodhgaya page for the expenses.

We hired a cab last night (in Bodhgaya) and travelled to Rajgir. In the early morning, around 6.30 am, we checked out from the hotel and started our journey.

The Ultimate Nalanda Rajgir tour plan

It was about a 2-hour journey from Bodhgaya. On the way to Rajgir, we stopped in a village called “Gehlaur.” The village is known for Dashrath Manjhi.

You can find his name in the Guinness World Records because he cut a hill about Twenty-two feet only with a Chisel and hammer. It takes 20 years and builds a road inside the mountain.

After that, the road connects Gaya in a shorter time. Earlier, the villagers had to cross the village around 21 km. Therefore, after making the road, it was beneficial for them.

In the same car and same day, we reached Santa Stupa around 9.30 am. Here we find the famous Rajgir ropeway connecting Shanti Stupa at the hilltop.

This ride is adventurous but risky because it is an open-cable chair car journey. Please note sitting with a child in the same chair is not allowed. It took approx 10 to 15 minutes. The ropeway ticket cost is 80 rupees. One piece of advice, come here earlier to avoid the queue.

Next, we move to Son Vander cave. There is no entry fee at all. In this place, there is a rumour also that you can find gold here. But it is not valid. Next, we move to Brahma Kund (also known as Garam Kund), renowned for the holy water. It is believed it can cure several kinds of skin diseases.

We visited all those places, and we reached Rajgir. After, check in to our hotel at approx noon. Then, get refreshed, take lunch, and sleep for a while. In the evening, we visited Naulakha Temple. The temple is one of the famous temples in Rajgir India tour guide.

The garden premises are well maintained. Also, there are three other temples. The temple architecture and the stone engraving are marvellous. We spent half an hour in the temple. Later we take a Tanga to Rajgir station because we need to know the local train timings.

After we returned to the Rajgir bus stand and ate “Idli Dosa.” We booked a car for the next day for the Nalanda Pawapuri tour and returned to the hotel.

Visit Nalanda Pavapuri Temple Tourist places – Next day

After a tight sleep, our morning was very refreshing. We have started our Nalanda Pawapuri tour from the Rajgir bus stand. It takes approx 1 hour to reach Nalanda. When we arrived there, a ‘Tangzwala’ offered us a local ride.

It was not decided in our Rajgir tour plan before. So with this tanga, we first visited Xuan Zang Memorial Hall and Shilpa Gram. The entire Buddha idle factory was in Shilpa Gram.
We were surprised that they are selling Buddha idols and souvenirs at a low rate. So my advice is that don’t buy any showpiece, idol, a souvenir from anywhere in Bodhgaya and Gaya. It’s the right place to buy those staff.

Then we went to see “Kundalpur Jain Temple.” This temple is also exquisite, and its architectural works are superb. After, we visited Black Buddha. This Black Buddha is found during the excavation work of Nalanda. Next, the Tangewala dropped us at the main gate of the Nalanda Museum. In the museum, photographing or making a noise on the mobile is prohibited.

Afterwards, we moved to Nalanda University, which is just beside the Nalanda Museum. A lot of guides are standing in front of the gate. It is good to pick a guide because they know the entire area very well and the history of Nalanda. Do not forget to bargain.

Lastly, we visited Pawapuri. There is no entry fee is there. The temple area is alluring and peaceful. It is situated in the middle of a vast lake. The entire lake was filled with lotus, and we see their many kinds of birds. Spending half an hour, we returned to the hotel at 3.30 pm and finished lunch. In the evening, we went shopping in Rajgir’s local market.

Rajgir local sightseeing – 3rd day

The next day we scheduled a Rajgir tour with local sightseeing. Around 8:00 am, we finished our breakfast, hired a tanga, and visited Pandu Pokhar first, then Bimbisara jail–Rath Chakka stain–Manihar Math–living organisms of Amabagan Veerayatan – Japanese Temple–Venuvan–Ajatshatru Fort, and ending of the tour.

We returned to the hotel in the afternoon and finished lunch, and took some rest. In the evening, we boarded a local train at 4.30 pm from Rajgir railway station and reached Bakhtiarpur. From Bakhtiyarpur, around 8:45 pm, we got to Garib Rath and returned to Kolkata Station at 5.30 am.

XUAN ZHANG (HIEUN – TSANG) 

When Buddhism was lost in the Indian subcontinent in14th century, Hiuen Tsang in the mid-19th century played a vital role in rediscovering the lost heritage through his travelogues.

In the 19th century, the government identified Hiuen Tsang’s work, Rajgir’s visiting places, Vaishali, Nalanda Sarnatha, and Kapilavasthu. The Xuanzang memorial hall is based on those places where his work is identified.

Hiuen Tsang’s work

The Archaeological Survey of India was established in 1861. They explore and protect the findings based on Hiuen Tsang’s work. His travelogues are one of the five classics in China.

In this memorial hall, the exhibition box results from six years of research and documentation. It is depicting the complete journey and observations made by Hiuen Tsang.

Nava Nalanda Mahavihara was established in 1951 to revive the cultural tradition of the ancient Nalanda University. Nava Nalanda Mahavihara decided to narrate Hiuen Tsang’s contributions through maps in 2008.

Every year this organization organizes a 13.5 km walk in the Rajgir-Jethian Valley in December to promote awareness about Huen Tsang.

Those places are found at the time of the excavation of Nalanda Vishwa Vidyalaya.

The University of Nalanda was founded in the 5th century A.D. Today Nalanda is a famous tourist place in India. Visitors from all over the world rush into it. Though everything is ruined now, still, this is the most visitable place on the Rajgir tour.

Nalanda History

Nalan means lotus, and da means to confer; it’s a symbol of knowledge. So Nalanda means the centre for imparting knowledge. Emperor Ashoka had laid its foundations in the 3rd century B.C.

Nalanda became the most prominent university in the world under the Guptas, 600 years after Ashok. It was built-in Kushan architecture. Not only Buddhism but also teach literature, philosophy, the Vedas, logic, grammar, philology, rhetoric, astrology, chemistry, and medicine. The student from all over the world came here in pursuit of knowledge.

From emperor Harshavardhan, Nalanda received the gift of a 26m copper image of Buddha. The university had also received 1200 villages as donations from several kings in those days. This revenue is used for the university to run its program of free education.

Nalanda Became a Tourist Place

Until 1860 Nalanda remained hidden from the public eye. Nalanda is the “last centre of Buddhist” manifestation in India. It was rediscovered after 20 years of excavation in 1916. Among the ruins of Nalanda, there are 11 “Maths” (monasteries) of red bricks, Stupas, images of the Buddha, a dormitory for students, classrooms, temples, Chaityas, Sangharams, and other relics located from south to north.

Entering through the west gate straight to the south are 2 Sangharams. The larger one was a classroom, and the smaller one was a dormitory. In front of the 31 m high Stupa (the main Stupa) built by Emperor Ashoka, the stupas were constantly being built and rebuilt in ruins. There were architectural changes and transformations in shape and size.

This Buddhist Stupa looks much like a Hindu temple. The present Stupa that stands was rebuilt on the ruins for the sixth time. In the ancient days, Nalanda Taradevi was the supreme deity for worship.

There were four beautifully ornamented domes on the four corners. The remnants of the two still bear witness to the fact. The inner sanctum enshrines several deities. A circular path is there within the temple.

The rock in which the caves were excavated is not sufficiently homogeneous to be suitable for the excavation of caves so the roof of the eastern one has entirely fallen off. In contrast, the roof and walls of the other one contain large cracks.

The western cave contains a doorway and a window in the southern wall. The door opening is more base than at the top. The walls of the cave are straight up and then turn inwards to form the vault-shaped root. We can see several short epigraphs on the inner walls.

The second or the eastern cave stands on a lower level than the first, but both were excavated simultaneously. It was first noticed by Cunningham, who found the roof fallen and the interior filled with masses of rock and earth.

Manihar Math History

Stone buildings are pretty independent of the brick and stand above at the deeper levels in the area. Naga (snake) worship was a distinctive feature of non-Vedic religion. Rajgir was a great centre of pilgrimage.

The people of Magadha regarded Nagas as great deities. They believed the god could bring rain if properly appeased by worship. All around the main shrine, the visitor will find low brick platforms.

In the main shrine found many pottery jars, some of them being about 1.26 meters in height. Specimens are in the Nalanda Museum. Some jars are shaped like serpent-hoods, goblins, and animal figures.
