Journey from the spiritual center of Bodhgaya to the legendary Barabar Caves, the oldest surviving rock-cut caves in India. Carved during the Mauryan Empire over 2,200 years ago, these granite wonders are world-famous for their mirror-like polished interiors and unique echo effects. This private day tour offers a rare glimpse into ancient Indian history, focusing on the Mauryan architectural mastery and the life of the Ajivika ascetics. Traveling in a private A.C. vehicle with an expert guide, you will explore these “Himalayas of the Heart” and discover the site that inspired the “Marabar Caves” in E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India.
