Lord Buddha remains the epitome of spiritual enlightenment and peaceful living for the followers. To follow his footsteps is something that every follower aspires to do in a lifetime for peace and rejuvenation. Reaching that level of enlightenment might not be possible in the current context though.

What can be done the most is visiting all those places that are closely associated with Lord Buddha. One can understand his teachings and life lessons more clearly and precisely while exploring the life of Buddha by understanding the footsteps of Lord Buddha for self-evaluation.

A tour embodying the footsteps of Lord Buddha would allow you to explore the places right from his birthplace to the rest places that have been built as inspired from his teachings besides all those places where he had preached his sermons. For instance, you get to visit ‘Sanchi Stupa’ in Bhopal which is believed to contain Lord Buddha’s ashes and it was built by his ardent follower- Emperor Ashoka.

Without stopping by ‘Bodh Gaya’ in Bihar, the place where Lord Buddha achieved his enlightenment under the great Bodhi Tree, your tour would surely be left incomplete. In Bihar, visiting Nalanda is absolutely necessary as it is the Centre of Buddhism in the modern-day and remains engaged in spreading the teachings of Lord Buddha all over the world.

‘Ajanta and Ellora Caves’ in Maharashtra are the excellent archaeological sites—the home to some of the most amazing rock-cut Buddhist monasteries and monuments. The ancient city of ‘Vaishali’, where Lord Buddha gave his last sermon must be on your itinerary along with a stopover at the ‘Ashoka Pillars’.

The entire tour related to Lord Buddha would obviously remain unfinished without visiting ‘Kushinagar’ where it is said that Lord Buddha finally attained Parinirvana. The ‘Parinirvana Stupa’ in Kushinagar is a major Buddhist Stupa attracting several tourists and Buddhism followers all year round.

Lumbini- the birthplace of Lord Buddha, though situated in Nepal, must be a part of your tour as it is the most divine places associated with Buddhism.
