Bodhgaya Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Overly crowded shared autorickshaws (Rs 8) and occasional buses (Rs 5) leave the Burmese Vihara for the 13km to Gaya. A private auto­rickshaw to Gaya should cost Rs 80.

The Gaya airport (2201155) is 8km from town. While there is only one Indian Airlines domestic flight a week to/from Kolkata (US$88), during the high season there are direct international flights from Bangkok and Yangoon.
