Varanasi to Bodh Gaya and onwards

english_tom · Jan 21st, 2009, 17:05

Family of 5, will be in Varanasi in April, going down to Bodh Gaya then want to go to Rajgir and Nalanda.
Can we go direct from Bodh Gaya ? If so how.
Would we be able to visit both in a day trip or should we stay in Rajgir for a night or two.
Any suggestions on accomodation in Rajgir.

Not what you asked for however....

If you are OK using Sleeper Class, you can get a direct overnight train from Varanasi to Nalanda or Rajgir.

Sleeper Class details & photos.

what's your mode of transport from varanasi. Bodhgaya is around 240 kms from varanasi which can covered in 5 hours. Nalanda is around 110(3 hours journey) kms from bodghaya and rajghir is around 15 kms from nalanda. I would advice you to stay at rajghir.
