Often forgotten
- Airport transfer · Arriving by air
The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.
- Tips and service charges · Any trip
Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.

About Bodh Gaya
Bodh Gaya in Bihar grew around the Mahabodhi Temple and the Bodhi tree, where the Buddha is held to have attained enlightenment. Monasteries founded by Buddhist countries run guesthouses, so lodging is varied and the town is small enough to cover on foot. Gaya has the nearest airport and railhead. The winter teaching season, December to February, is the busiest; summers are severe.
