Jamshedpur to Nalanda Cab

About the Jamshedpur–Nalanda Route

The Jamshedpur to Nalanda cab covers approximately 310–325 km via Dhanbad and Gaya, taking approximately 7–8 hours. Nalanda is the site of the most extraordinary educational institution of the ancient world — Nalanda Mahavihara, which operated from the 5th to 12th centuries CE, attracting scholars from Tibet, China, Korea, Japan, and South-East Asia. The vast archaeological ruins — comprising temples, monasteries (viharas), lecture halls, and gardens — were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016. The Xuanzang Memorial Hall commemorates the famous Chinese monk-scholar who studied and taught at Nalanda. Rajgir (12 km) and Pawapuri Jain Shrine (20 km) make ideal additions to a Nalanda cab trip.
