I went to Buddha Smriti Park. The park is a great place to visit and understand the life and teachings of Buddha. The open park is great for recreation. It has well-laid paths and green cover, with majestic central stupa being visible from all parts of the park. It is great place to go.

I went to Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park. You can easily spot animals like the tiger, leopard, jackal, gharial, python, Indian rhinoceros, giraffe, zebra, emu, white peacock, black bucks, spotted deer, hippopotamus and many more. The park is not only rich in fauna but also flora. It is great place to go.

When Patna was devoid of many tourist points ..Golghar has remained as prime visit spot for people from countryside. This colonial heritage site is situated near Ganga River. Was a storage of Food grains. Presently, it is not in use by Food and Civil Supplies Department and has been declared a tourist site. It has 153 stairs if I am not forgotten the counts and connected via To and Fro directions. It is preserved and protected monument of Patna that recalls colonial periods and it's presence in Patliputra. May go for a ride if have leisure time.

The Pawapuri Jain Temple is situated at a distance of about 100 km Southeastern end of Patna. Lord Mahivra had spent his last days in this temple and attained nirvana here. It is believed by many that the spot where he was buried became so famous among his disciples that each wanted to take a pinch of the holy earth, as a result of which earth became hollow enough to form a large pond, which still exists today. There are five main other temples in Pawapuri - the Jal Mandir, the Gaon Mandir, the Samosaran, the New Samosaran and another temple built by Bibi Mehetab Kumari. The temple is of high religious importance among the Jain devotees
