It was here, that the Lord Buddha sat under the Banyan tree and attained enlightenment, and a descendant of that original tree still flourishes there today. Bodhgaya is small and quiet town, which is the most important of all the Buddhist sites in the world.

Situated 10 km from Varanasi, Sarnath is the site where Buddha delivered his first sermon to his five disciples, preaching the middle path for attaining 'Nirvana'. Realising the sanctity of the site, emperor Ashoka, in the 3rd century B.C. built some of the finest monuments and legacies.

Lumbini
Lumbini is situated just a few kilometers inside Nepal and is the birthplace of lord Buddha. Being one of the four holy places of Buddhism, today we can find the Ashokan pillar with its inscription mentioning that "here the Buddha was born", the nearby ruins that are presently undergoing restoration and the modern temples.

Ladakh
The Buddhist principle of 'compassion' is perhaps the most visible trait of the religion in Ladakh. There are numerous monasteries in Ladakh, but the Lamayuru Gompa is the most significant one. Dating back to the 10th century and is known to be the oldest house of faith, it is one of the most picturesquely-located monasteries in Ladakh. It belongs to the Kagyupa Order of Buddhism and is home to some of the finest frescos, carpets and tangkhas.
