Hotels in Bihar, India

Bihar is a state in eastern India, famous for its ancient Buddhist sites and the massive ruins of Nalanda University, a 5th-century center of learning. Summers can hit 95°F (35°C), making it best to explore the stone-carved caves at Barabar Hills during the cooler months from October to March, when temperatures drop to 50°F (10°C). Winter is perfect for visiting Bodh Gaya, where you can meditate under the Bodhi tree, while the monsoon months from June to September bring lush green landscapes and fewer tourists.
