Buddhist Tour Package From Kolkata

The city of Kolkata, known for its art, literature, and spirituality, is also a perfect starting point for a Buddhist pilgrimage. Our Buddhist Tour Package from Kolkata offers a soul-enriching experience to the sacred sites associated with the life of Lord Buddha — from his birth in Lumbini to enlightenment in Bodhgaya and his teachings in Sarnath.
This journey is not just about visiting temples and monuments — it’s about walking the same path that led Siddhartha Gautama to become the Buddha, the Enlightened One.
