ဗုဒၶဂါယာ ေျမ ျမတ္ မဟာ

As the site of the Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment, Bodh Gaya is the most revered of all Buddhist sacred sites. The main temple complex houses the famous Mahabodhi temple/stupa and a descendant of the original Bodhi Tree under which the Buddha gained enlightenment. Inside the Mahabodhi temple complex you can also enjoy the Lotus Pond or the meditation garden. Bodh Gaya has temples or monasteries

from many other nations with a Buddhist tradition (Bhutan, Bangladesh, China, Japan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tibet), all within easy walking distance from the Mahabodhi temple. Understand
Beware

Bodh Gaya is a venerable tourist trap. The worst culprits are the deceitful tour guides on motorbikes, who offer to drive you around for the day at exorbitant prices. They will typically attempt to befriend you without indicating their intentions, then offer to "help you" get the most of your experience. Some are particularly snaky and pretend to do it out of friendship, for a "token appreciation". Most will also pretend to work for an orphanage or school and ask for donations, even offering to show you the place, but this is a standard practice to cheat extra money from well-meaning foreigners. Please note that everything inside Bodh Gaya is easy to find and within 5-15 minute walking distance from the Mahabodhi temple complex. If you do wish to utilize a local tour guide to for example visit the Barabar caves (20KM) or Dungeshwari caves (12KM), first request to see their official Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation ID card - then bargain heavily. It should NEVER be more than Rs. 500 for an entire day trip, no matter how far you drive out of town. Street vendors and shop keepers are also used to overcharging for their goods. Be prepared to bargain heavily in souvenir shops, and even more so from street vendors who typically sell cheap imitation products
