Weather in Rajgir

About Rajgir

Verdant mountains embrace this valley where Buddha himself walked, preaching dharma to assembled masses at Griddhakuta (Vulture's Peak). The Japanese Peace Pagoda's white dome rises serenely against these ancient hills, a modern meditation on timeless teachings. Ropeway cars swing above the landscape, connecting peak temples.
