By embracing the simple lifestyle, we walk through the temples, stupas, monasteries and villages that hold great importance in shaping the Buddha to understand the lord in a better way.‘Walk for Enlightenment Tour’ is an attempt of taking you back to the life of the Buddha, to be like our spiritual master and attain awakening of life.Day 01 : Arrive BodhgayaUpon arrival at Gaya Airport, meet our representative for a drive to a local Buddhist temple and prepare for your monkhood. From here, we start the journey of knowing and embracing Buddha’s life in the real way. Lord Buddha renounced his material wealth and pleasures in the quest for ultimate truth. And the first step he took towards this was shaving the hair. With this, he freed himself from one more link of the material world. Our pilgrims can also take the same step like our revered Sakyamuni and renounce worldly links in the beginning of this pilgrimage. A special head shaving ceremony with mantra recitation ritual by monks is a part of this pious beginning. Next, the pilgrims receive the robes from monks as a blessing for a spiritual trip. Robe donation by the devotees here is also scheduled.However, it is optional for our pilgrims to take this austere path towards devotion. But the main essence of this day is to prepare for the Buddhist Pilgrimage in mind and in spirit by adhering simplicity and the Buddhist way of life. Lunch within temple premises. Overnight in temple.Day 02 : BodhgayaBegin the morning the way Buddha used to do daily – wander as a monk and collect the alms for breakfast. After breakfast, bow and walk to the Great Mahabodhi Temple Complex, the center of reverence and spiritual home for every Buddhist. Under the sacred Bodhi Tree, Prince Siddhartha sat in his meditation on the full moon night and attained enlightenment after wandering as a monk for six years. Here, he became the Buddha or awakened.A guided walk through the Mahabodhi Complex will introduce you to the rich history of Uruvela (Bodhgaya) and its direct association with Lord Buddha. Here, he spent seven weeks in meditative state after enlightenment. The seven weeks are characterized by seven sacred spots, namely - Bodhi Tree, Animeshlochana Chaitya, Ratnachankramana, Ratnaghar Chaitya, Ajapala Nigrodh Tree, Muchalinda Lake / Lotus Pond and Rajyatana Tree.All of these sacred spots are also present in the modern day Mahabodhi Complex. One by one, we cover the sites with a guided tour and a brief 15 min meditation session to follow the master and experience the ultimate awakening he experienced just after enlightenment. Donate butter lamps here in Mahabodhi Temple, also a world heritage site.After enlightenment, Gautama Buddha went to the River Nairanjana and took a dip in its pristine waters.

Though the river doesn’t exist, the spiritual presence of our lord makes this site a subject of reverence.Day 03 : Bodhgaya - Rajgir- Nalanda- Bodhgaya (90 km / 2 hrs)Day 04 : Bodhgaya - Varanasi (255 km / 5 hrs)Day 05 : Varanasi - SarnathDay 06 : Varanasi - Kushinagar (175 km / 4.5 hrs)Day 07 : KushinagarDay 08 : Kushinagar - Lumbini (180 km / 5 hrs)Day 09 : Lumbini - Kathmandu (Flight)Day 10 : Kathmandu - Outknow more2854897383348Get Best PriceCall Now
