Things to Do in Kushinagar: Local Guide
Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh is one of Buddhism's four most sacred sites — the place where Siddhartha Gautama attained Mahaparinirvana. The reclining Buddha at the Mahaparinirvana Temple, the Ramabhar Stupa cremation site, and international Buddhist monasteries from Thailand, Japan, and Myanmar create a profound pilgrimage atmosphere.
