Nice place Rajgir (historically known as Rājagṛiha) meaning "House of the Kings" is an ancient city and a municipal council in Nalanda district of Magadh region in the Indian state of Bihar. The city of Rajgir (ancient Rājagṛha; Pali: Rājagaha) was the first capital of the kingdom of Magadha, a state that would eventually evolve into the Mauryan Empire.[4] The city finds mention in India's greatest literary epic, the Mahabharata, through its king Jarasandha. Its date of origin is unknown, although ceramics dating to about 1000 BC have been found in the city. The 2,500-year old Cyclopean Wall is located in the city. This area is also notable in Jainism and Buddhism.[5] It was the birthplace of the 20th Jain Tirthankar Munisuvrata, and is closely associated with the arihant Mahavira and Gautama Buddha.[6] Both Mahavira and Buddha taught their beliefs in Rajgir during the 6th and 5th century BC, and the Buddha was offered a forest monastery here by king Bimbisara. As such, the city of Rajgir became one of the Buddha's most important preaching locations. The ancient Nalanda university was located in the vicinity of Rajgir, and the contemporary Nalanda University named after it was founded in 2010 nearby.[7] It was also through Rajgir that the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka travelled to Bodh Gaya around 250 BC, when placing the diamond throne (Vajrasana) at the great temple where Buddha attained enlightenment.[citation needed]

The ropeway up to the monastery is a very exciting journey and the monastery is one of its kind, very beautiful and peaceful. The view from the top is mindblowing.

Bro why r they taking money to use toilet . It’s piligrimage and holy place . Many people come for Pooja . This is so wrong .

It's a must visit place if someone loves peace and nature. The view of city and near by forest from the top is irresistible...

Nice place. Where calm environment meets your soul with peace, deep breath inside, set your mind for relaxation.

Love this place...sign of peace..full of monkeys... stand their and feel the place..Greenery surrounded by mountains ranges... Ropeway is the best way to get there so adventurous so exciting.. but if you are going in summer so wear cotton clothes and light clothes because the weather is very hot over there ....a must visit heritage centre of Bihar....
