Rajgir Getting there & around

Getting there & around

Regular buses run to Gaya (Rs 45, 2½ hours) and Patna (Rs 60, three hours) from the bus stand on the Nalanda road. Ridiculously crowded shared jeeps shuttle between Rajgir and Nalanda (Rs 8). The best way to get to Patna is on one of two daily trains that originate in Rajgir (2nd class Rs 36, 2½ hours, 8.10am and 3.15pm), with stops at Nalanda (Rs 18, 15 minutes) and Pawapuri (Rs 20, 25 minutes).
