Activity itinerary

Great Buddha Statue

  • 20m
The Great Buddha Statue of Bodhgaya is one of the tallest statues of the Buddha in India, standing 80 feet high. It was unveiled in 1989 by the Dalai Lama and has since become an iconic symbol of the town. Made of sandstone and red granite, the statue shows the Buddha in meditation posture, radiating peace and calm. Around it are smaller statues of his disciples, adding to the spiritual atmosphere. The site is visited by both pilgrims and tourists who come to sit quietly, reflect, and take in the serene surroundings. The Great Buddha Statue is not only a landmark of Bodhgaya but also a modern tribute to the Buddha’s timeless message.

Metta Buddharam Temple

  • 20m
Visit the Metta Buddha, a modern Buddhist monument dedicated to the teaching of loving-kindness. In Pali, metta means goodwill or universal kindness. The peaceful setting offers time for meditation or quiet reflection and provides a meaningful reminder of compassion as a central Buddhist value.

Mahabodhi Temple

  • 30m
Visit the UNESCO-listed Mahabodhi Temple, marking the place where Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment and became the Buddha. Explore the temple complex and spend time at the sacred Bodhi Tree, with an opportunity for prayer, meditation and quiet reflection.

Sujata Kuti

  • 20m
Visit Sujata Stupa, dedicated to Sujata, who offered milk-rice to Siddhartha after years of severe fasting. Her offering helped him regain his strength and marked an important turning point towards the Middle Way and enlightenment.

Dungeshwari Hills

  • 1h
Visit the Dungeshwari Caves, where Siddhartha Gautama practised severe austerities during his search for enlightenment. Explore the simple caves and shrines while learning how this period helped lead him towards the Middle Way.

Vishnupad Temple

  • 1h
Visit Vishnupad Temple in Gaya, one of Bihar’s most important Hindu pilgrimage sites. The temple is associated with a sacred footprint of Lord Vishnu and stands near the Falgu River. It is also well known for pind daan rituals performed in memory of ancestors.
