Bodhgaya. When we first hear this name, it immediately reminds us of Gautam Budhha. It was here, under the Bodhi Tree, Budhha got enlightened and started spreading this light around the world. The most revered place for all the followers of Buddhism, the place is equally sacred for one and all, with many ascetics and saints from Nepal, Tibet, and China having prayed here and filled it with holiness. Simply breathing in the air of Bodhgaya instills a feeling of extreme positivity which is enough to wash off every negativity you’d have collected in life until now.

The most important pilgrimage of the four main Buddhist pilgrimages, Mahabodhi Temple of Bodhgaya was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2002. And it is not the only place of worship in Bodhgaya. You’ll find several monasteries and temples in Bodhgaya which have been built with reverence by the people of Nepal, Bhutan, China, Tibet, Sikkim, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, and Myanmar. With each pilgrimage, foundation was laid for an architectural wonder which is a reflection of Budhha’s impact on each one of them. And with so much diversified cultures spread at one place, the giant statue of Gautam Budhha unifies them all as one being.

Situated on the western part of the Indian sub-continent, Gujarat derives its name ‘Gujaratta’ meaning the land of Gurjars. The Gurjars passed through Punjab and settled in some parts of Western India, which came to be known as Gujarat.

Gujarat today offers a wide range of the most spectacular attractions – which includes breathtaking locations and scenic landscapes. Gujarat is also a melting pot of several civilizations resulting in a vibrant culture and a rich heritage. Gujarat is home to several architectural marvels, witnesses of its glorious history and pilgrim centres for many faiths.

It is also the land of several mythological & historical figures like the legendary Lord Krishna and Mahatma Gandhi the apostle of non-violence.

Gujarat is a home to incredible diversity due to its geographic and strategic location. Its Gujarati pride and rich cultural heritage is reflected in arts, music, literature, religious traditions, cuisine, fairs and festivals of every city and place.

Barely glimpsed by many travelers scurrying between Mumbai (BOMBAY) and Rajasthan, Gujarat is an easy side-step off the well-beaten tourist trail. While the capital, Ahmadabad, retains some charm amid its chaos, the countryside holds most of this state’s treasures. Traditional artisans in tribal villages weave, embroider, dye and print some of India’s finest textiles. Pristine parks harbor unique wildlife, including migratory birds, wild asses and the last remaining prides of Asiatic Lions. For the spiritually inclined, sacred Jain and Hindu pilgrimage sites sit atop mountains that rise dramatically from vast flatland. And colorful festivals burst with a cornucopia of culture.

Gujarat also claims a special relationship to the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi: he was born here, he ignited the satyagraha movement from here, he made his Salt March here – and his legacy remains a vibrant part of public discourse and private lives.

The complete Gujarat tour package will cover all of the major cities on Indian state of Gujarat which includes Ahmadabad, Modhera, Patan, Dasada, Bhuj, Kutch, Mandvi, Jamnagar, Dwarka, Porbandar, Diu, Somnath, Sasan Gir, Velavadar- Blackbuck National Park, and Lothal.
