4.5Nalanda(251 reviews) - Visit to Nalanda in February 2020 Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins • Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
Nalanda was quite interesting although tiresome, coming from Gaya or Bodh Gaya. The car journey took about 4 hours from Bodh Gaya. It takes one through some rolling hills that are panoramic. There is a nice Shanti Supa on the way on top of a hill with a statue of Lord Buddha. One also passes through Rajgir, which was a great seat of learning prior to 5th century AD. The Nalanda University campus that seems to have existed till 12th Century for about 1500 years was completely destroyed by the invaders from West Asia, much like the Bamian statues of Buddha more recently. What is left is maintained by the Archaeological Society of India very nicely. It is a great place to spend about 1-2 hours contemplating about the age gone by. It also shows a high degree of aesthetic taste on the part of the Buddhist Monastic order.See more..

4.0Pind Daan Gaya(107 reviews) - In tune with ancestors Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Religious Sites
A place of history and legends. Where Lord Shiva is suppossed to have set foot on a stone. Where your prayers for your loved ones who are no more, are heard. If you go with deep love and reverence, your prayers will be heard. Since the afterlife is not that of this physical matter, it the energy of your deep thought which can uplift them onto a better realm. Try going to 'Darri walaa'. For generations these people keep a record of visits. You might find an ancestor who had come. They have originals from various Sikh Gurus and many more. Definitely worth a visit.See more..

I found this place while serching for places to visit in Patna, Last year when Me and my friend Rupak visited Rajgir, we gave a touch to Patna for two nights while returning back.

Though it is far away from Patna city and you need to avail a stressed jouney (road condition is very bad)through Danapur Regiment, but once you give a glance to it, i assure that you will forget all your tireness in a second. If you have any chance to visit patna, then please touch Maner once. While coming back, take a packet of Laddoo of Maner which is well known and tasty as well.See more..

4.0Dungeshwari Cave Temples(25 reviews) - Mostly of interest to devout Buddhists Religious Sites
Get a trusted local, or your lodging manager to hire a rickshaw for you. If you are paying more than rs.500 from the vicinty of Mahabodhi temple, then you are being massively overcharged. Our driver took 3 of us there from the outer police barrier, ( 3 min. walking from Mahabodhi temple ) waited for us for more than an hour, and the returned us to the outer police barrier for rs.500, which was actually higher than local price. The caves are managed by some remarkably unfriendly Gelugpa kushos. Upon departure be prepared to be assailed by a small horde of somewhat aggressive, scowling,and persistent beggars.See more..

4.0Kundalpur Digambar Jain temple(16 reviews) - The birth place of the 24th Jain Teerthankar Lord Mahaveer Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites
This place is located in the Nalanda district of the Bihar state. Although the Nalanda, is famous, for the ruins of the great ancient Nalanda university, established by the great Chanakya, but for Jains it is the birth place of the 24th Jain Teerthankar Lord Mahaveer. This temple is one of the greatest, in every means. The Nadyavart Mahal, Trikal Chaubisi Mandir,& the Navgrah Shanti Mandir, are 3 different temples, established with different goals, & it is a treat to watch these temples. But being the birth place of the Lord Mahaveer, is the most important thing.
