OUR GOAL
In tourism sector there are thousands of tour agents working in buddhist
sectors in India, Nepal and Bhutan. But we found ourselves unique and different
from other travel agents. The reason behind being unique is because we take
care of people personal feelings and keep the trip authentic. So people can have
close cultural experience. In other hand we are different because along all the
personal feelings, we give sense of Spirituality so every individuals can
experience the essence of Buddhism, Hinduism and other religious believes and
devotions. Buddha Bhumi also offers the ability to tailor a tour program
according to your wishes and interests.
INFORMATIONBuddha Bhumi Tour office is mainly based in Bodhgaya India. This is small town in
North India of Bihar state where Buddha has Achieved the Enlightenment. Because of
our close connection with dutch people in the Netherlands we got most of pilgrimage

like England, Spain and Australia.
