Griddhakuta Peak

Reviewed By JoyBoseRoy - Bengaluru, India

This peak can be climbed in less than one hour from Rajgir. There is also a ropeway but that goes to a different nearby hill. It is shaped like a vulture's beak if you see it from a certain angle, hence the name vultures peak The atmosphere at the top is amazing and very conducive to meditation. Many devotees come in the peak season to meditate. There is a small shrine where the buddha used to sit and meditate, on base of the hut on the peak. There is also another ananda hut a little distance away. Below the peak there are ruins of a mauryan era monastery, a few caves notably those of Shariputra and Maudgalanya, lots of Tibetan prayer flags and so on. Those caves are also good for worshipping and meditating. One nice way to gain some merit by cleaning the place, if it is dirty. Some people who come do not know the significance of the place and treat it as a picnic spot, especially in off season. Better to come early in the morning when its cool and easier to climb.

Dungeswari Hills

Reviewed By pooiya - Katunayake, Sri Lanka

We really enjoyed. As a Buddhist it's a must visit place. Better to have a travel guide as India is still a developing country. Hard to survive on your own because hard to trust people there. But very nice place to visit.
