What To Expect
In this tour, you will travel to Sarnath, where the Buddha preached his first sermon and set the Dhammachakka, the wheel of law in motion. Several Buddhist structures were raised at Sarnath between the 3rd century BC and the 11th century AD, and today it presents the most expansive ruins amongst all the places on the Indian Buddhist trail. Visit the Chaukhandi Stupa, Dhamek Stupa complex, Mulgandha Kunti Vihara, and end your visit with The Archaeological Museum where findings from the site are displayed.
