Buddhist Pilgrimage Tourism – In the Footsteps of Lord Buddha

You will visit multiple Indian sites on a Buddhist pilgrimage in India, and this tour follows the steps of Lord Buddha.

This spiritual trip leads you on a peaceful journey in Lord Buddha's footsteps. At the border between India and Nepal, at Lumbini, Gautam Siddhartha was born in the sixth century BC. Buddhist pilgrimage tourism in India enables tourists and pilgrims to visit locations connected to Buddha's life and death. You travel to Bodhgaya, where he attained enlightenment or had the most significant understanding of life, death, and existence. 




The next stop on tour will be Sarnath, the location of Lord Buddha's first preaching following his enlightenment. Also, Sravasti, Vaishali, Kapilvastu, and Rajgir will be explored; each one of these locations is connected to the lives of Buddha and Kushinagar. At the place where Buddha Shakyamuni died in this city, Lord Buddha gained Mahaparinirvana.

India, the birthplace of Buddhism, has a long history of Buddhist inheritance. Stupas, Chaityas and Viharas were the only forms of art and architecture it supported as part of its push for austerity.

You can take an Indian Buddhist Pilgrimage Tourism train to see all of these sites really close for a truly spiritual experience. The self-disciplined and illustrious life of Lord Buddha can be experienced personally by travelling this train to the destinations.

Come and discover the way to Lord Buddha's enlightenment. 

A special train departing from Delhi will travel through India's well-known Buddhist Heritage sites. Both travellers and pilgrims will be able to gain valuable insights into the self-controlled and revered life of Lord Buddha as well as a beautiful experience of the train ride.

The major destinations covered are – 

  • Varanasi
  • Bodhgaya
  • Rajgir
  • Nalanda
  • Patna
  • Kushinagar
  • Shravasti
  • Balrampur
  • Lucknow
