India, where many pivotal moments of Buddha’s life unfolded, holds immense significance for Buddhists worldwide. While Buddhism makes up only 0.7% of the total population in India (approximately 8.5% of the country’s population follows Buddhism), it remains one of the most important pilgrimage destinations for Buddhist devotees—particularly for Sherpas from Nepal, Tibetans, and Buddhists from around the world.

Buddhism’s profound history is deeply rooted in India, with key sacred sites marking the Buddha’s journey from enlightenment to Mahaparinirvana. These include:

• Bodhgaya (the site of Buddha’s enlightenment)
• Sarnath (where Buddha gave his first teachings)
• Kushinagar (the site of Buddha’s death and Mahaparinirvana)
• Sravasti (where Buddha performed miracles)
• Vaishali (where Buddha announced his approaching death)
• Nalanda (ancient center of Buddhist learning)
• Rajgir (site of Buddha’s meditation)
• Sankisa (where Buddha descended from heaven after teaching his mother)

In addition, Rewalsar is a cherished site connected to Guru Padmasambhava, while the stunning Ajanta and Ellora caves preserve priceless Buddhist art. Triloknath, or Grasha Phakpa, is another revered site, honoring Arya Avalokiteshvara in Tibetan Buddhism.
