In the Mahaparinirvana sutra, the Buddha tells his followers that they can attain merit and a noble rebirth by going on pilgrimage to the places where he was born Lumbini, gained enlightenment Bodhgaya , first taught Sarnath, and attained Nirvana Kushinagar .

The Buddhist tourist train takes you to these places and helps you experience firsthand the self-disciplined and legendary life of Lord Buddha.
