As promised in the previous
post, here is the picture blog of
Ragjir - the ancient Magadh capital.
From my experience, I would say this is the place to be developed in Bihar as the alternate urban centre which will ease out the load on Patna.
Highlights of Rajgir - Beautiful weather being surrounded by seven hills, the Buddhist temples, Jain temples, ancient ruins dating from Mahabharat times, the hot springs.
Here is a photo trip of the chief attraction - The Vishwa Shanti Stupa

Aakashiya Rajju Path (आकाशीय रज्जु पथ ) - The ropeway leading to the Vishwa Shanti stupa. The ride was fun with the chair cars swaying along as it climbs the hill to the stupa.

Its claimed that this hill hides a huge treasure. So far attempts have failed to locate the same. Only a cave exists as on date.

The Jal Mandir, Pawapuri- A jain temple located in the middle of a beautiful pond. The entire pond is covered with Lotuses
It was great to find so many interesting & fascinating places near my home place. There were quite a few other places which couldn't be visited due to time constraints. Hope to visit again.
So till next time in the TravelNotes.
