Wonderful day tour to Rajgir and Nalanda

We had a wonderful day tour from Bodhgaya to Rajgir and Nalanda. Our guide was well informed about Buddhism and the different locations we went to, and this made the experience to this special part of the world that much more meaningful. Booking the tour was easy with excellent communication from the tour operator. I would happily recommend Buddha Trails Tours!
