Best Buddhist Destinations in India

What do you think about spirituality? Maybe you think of it as achieving harmony and understanding life deeper. Yes, it is. However, it has advanced in culture. Welcome to India, a proud country where specifically, divinity has different cultures.



Buddhism is one of those traditions. Gautama Buddha traveled through India and taught many things to people, due to which the sprawl of Buddhism was commercialized. Presently various monasteries are in India to practice it. Travel the Buddhist places in India with India by Car and Driver so that you get to see the greatest works of brilliant minds.

Four best Buddhist monasteries in India

It was very challenging to jot down which monasteries are perfect for you, so we, as a Tours and Travels Agency, did intense research and analysis to shortlist the four best Buddhist monasteries in India. We strongly recommend these places if you want to learn more about Buddhism for your well-being.

Bodh Gaya in Bihar

This pilgrimage spot, Bodh Gaya, is well-known for Gautama Buddha’s enlightenment. 

In the Gaya locality of Bihar, there is a Mahabodhi temple, where Siddhartha Gautama was sitting under the shadows of a tree in deep meditation and got enlightened to become Gautama Buddha.

●       If you wish to respect Gautama Buddha, then the best time is from April to May.

Sarnath in Uttar Pradesh

The biggest highlight of Sarnath is the scholarly Buddhist stupas, temples, and museums constructed of historic shining stones. Even after such a crowded population of Uttar Pradesh, the city is still keeping its spirituality and harmony.

A large number of Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist pilgrims like to visit the natural environment here. 

●       The period from October to March is the ideal time to visit here. However, India By Car and Driver strongly suggests you come here on Maha Shivaratri and Buddha Purnima.   

Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh

Kushinagar is also one of the four essential locations in Buddhism. It is the place where Gautama Buddha got Mahaparinirvana. Within Buddhism, devotees believe that at the time of death, the person who has achieved Mahaparinirvana is the one who has attained Nirvana throughout life.

 It is why people from India and overseas come here to stopover, especially those who believe in Buddhism.

●       You can visit Kushinagar anytime from November to February. This time the weather is fantastic, and the view here is a delicious feast to the eyes.

Lumbini near the borders of India and in the Himalayan hills    

Lumbini is a small town located near the borders of India and in the Himalayan hills. It is the place where Siddhartha Gautama, who became Gautama Buddha, was born. It is the destination, which has been included in the UNESCO world heritage site that has age-old stupas, which are also around 2000 years old.

Other than that, many monasteries have been constructed by the dynasties of previous generations. From here, Nepal is not far away, so you can also opt for the Best of Nepal Tour Package and enjoy it in Nepal.

●       Two seasons are the best for visiting Lumbini. From April to May, you will find a Misty and light atmosphere here. A little cold begins rising here from October to November, and seeing the sunsets and sunrises will be worth your time.
