<p>A few years back, while browsing the internet, I came across this train that was probably newly-introduced by the Indian Railways. It covered all the main sites in and around Bihar related to Gautam Buddha. Until then, I had heard only of the Palace On Wheels, which as well knew, was a fancy one.</p>

<p>Earlier this month, I had free time and no company for travel, so I was exploring easy options for solo travel. That’s when the IRCTC webpage of The Buddhist Circuit Tourist Train popped up on my screen. It covered all those destinations where the Buddha had once walked and I had been to none. Two places that made it more appealing to me, and which I had been wanting to do for very long were Banaras and Lumbini. The only other familiar name on the itinerary was Bodh Gaya.</p>
