Kesariya Stupa

Reviewed By Expeditionist - Glasgow, United Kingdom

This is one of the most atmospheric places in the world. We visited at night, and then again at sunrise - the life-size ruined statues on the stupa hint at the previous grandeur of the place. Part of the stupa and the grounds around are being excavated, and there is a small office where the staff and archaeological team are very friendly and can answer your questions. Be sure to visit Bharat Biryani nearby - one of the best and cleanest places to eat and freshen up by Western standards (three of us travelled from the UK)
