Trace places of awakening, teaching and living tradition across India and thoughtfully connected international routes.
Sacred places, living traditions
Follow the story across landscapes and centuries.
India offers a remarkable journey through places associated with the life and teachings of the Buddha, alongside ancient centres of learning and active monastic traditions. A focused route can connect Bodh Gaya, Sarnath and Kushinagar, with Rajgir and Nalanda adding valuable historical context.
For travellers with more time, the story can continue to Lumbini in Nepal or into the living Buddhist cultures of Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. We shape the route around your interests—pilgrimage, archaeology, philosophy, photography or a balanced cultural journey.
