How can you see, do and experience more in Buddhist tourism in India?


Buddhist tourism in India received a fillip from World Bank when Indian government signed a contract with its affiliate the International Finance Corporation to develop and connect significant Buddhism tour places across Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The IFC agreed to fund Rs. 1,200 crore Buddhist development project in India.

Started in 2014, the project was a five-year roadmap to connect all the leading Buddhist sites in North India. The objective of the project is to make travel cheaper and convenient for pilgrims and vacationers. The result of the project is more and more pilgrims are able to complete their tour across holy Buddhist sites in short time and with little money.

It allows pilgrims to include more sites to their Buddhist tour itineraryand complete the tour in a hassle-free manner. The new roadmap has made it possible to tour the Buddha related sites around the year. Also, the vacationers can choose the sites according to their convenience. They have everything from affordable accommodations to experienced and reliable tour guides.

Multiple modes of transport including private cabs, train and airplanes make touring Buddha sites more convenient. Availability of tour insurance further increases security of pilgrims and safety of their belongings. India is the land of Buddha. Buddhism spread to Nepal and adjoining countries of Burma and Malaysia from India. It is in India where you can see Buddhism in its real spirit.

Buddhism places lie scattered across North India and they are all connected to make a roadmap for Buddhist tourism in India. Pilgrims going to India in search of Buddha can easily explore all the Buddhist sites and spend more time on sites than on traveling with the help of their tour operators. But the credit for convenient Buddhist tour goes to the Indian government.
