Description

Long before Oxford or Harvard, the world’s seekers of wisdom gathered in India — at Nalanda. Once a sprawling 5th-century university where monks and scholars from across Asia studied philosophy, medicine, and astronomy, Nalanda’s red-brick ruins still whisper tales of its luminous past. Today, travelers can walk through its UNESCO-protected remains, explore nearby Rajgir’s sacred hills, and witness the revival of learning at the new Nalanda University. This journey isn’t just about history — it’s a pilgrimage to the birthplace of global education.
