Ancient fort with stunning structure
Following his coronation, Ajatshatru had this prison constructed inside the Ajatshatru Fort and sentenced his father, King Bimbisara, to life behind bars. Because of its significance in Rajgir's past, Bimbisara Jail is among the city's most popular tourist attractions. In his final days, the monarch was relocated to a smaller chamber so that he might be near Lord Buddha, who was also imprisoned in the fort due to the king's love for the Buddha.
Suggested Duration - 3 to 4 hours
This prison, with its lofty walls and stone pillars, can be found close to the Maniyar Math. At the peak of the hill, you can see the renowned Japanese Peace Pagoda in the distance as well as explore the ruins and learn about Indian history.
The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.
But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.
• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too
• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!
• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
