About this circuit
The Buddhist Circuit traces the four holiest sites in Buddhism — Lumbini (birth, in Nepal), Bodh Gaya (enlightenment), Sarnath (first sermon), and Kushinagar (mahaparinirvana). The Indian Railways' Mahaparinirvan Express and IRCTC's Buddhist Circuit Tourist Train make this a well-served 8-day journey — India's most internationally travelled pilgrimage.
