Wonderful tour with Anand and Kush, who were both incredibly accommodating and informative.
Very attentive and educated guide. Lots of background knowledge and classifications that helped us understand everything better. The impressions were very rich, so the short afternoon nap was also important to regenerate.
Extensive tour of Bodhgaya and surroundings. Partly by taxi and partly on foot. Even in very rural areas where you usually can't get there.
Great drive around Bodh Gaya with a helpful and knowledgable guide. Brought us to all the sites associated with the Buddha's path to enlightenment in the order of the Buddha's own story, which was a fun angle. Thanks!
