Rent a "private jet" to India, visit the legendary land of Buddha

The journey to India began with a flight like “Sun Dai Thanh” riding “the clouds” through Thailand. Waiting for an 8-hour transit, flying back to North India, I rented a car, dusty long distances, took a train all night, took a crowded bus like ants in the bitter cold.

Even when traveling, hardships are also memorable experiences and who knows, over time, everything will be covered with a layer of chocolate of sweeter memories. But when you have a charter flight (charter an entire plane), you will not need to spend so much time or effort on the way to travel to India.

The problem is that the age of technology and services allows you to experience India without having to “go along” with the “mortification”. It is entirely possible to dream of a direct flight of about 3 hours, from Noi Bai International Airport “dropping parachute” to Bodh Gaya - Bodh Gaya to worship Buddha at the sacred Bodhi tree, where Shakyamuni meditated for 49 days and then became enlightened as Buddha. After that, you can leisurely travel around the mountains and rivers, exploring other Buddhist relics.

You can also admire World Cultural Heritage Masterpieces such as the Taj Mahal - "a teardrop on the cheek of time" or the majestic Ganges River and Varanasi - the city that the famous writer Mark Twain praised as "older than history, older than tradition, older than legend, and looks older than all of them put together!".

Traveling now is much more enjoyable than a few years ago. I took a charter flight from Vietravel. Direct flight. They chartered a whole plane to serve tourists. About 3 hours flight, a little further than the Hanoi - Phu Quoc flight.

The fear of those who cannot eat the strong curry smell in any dish at Indian restaurants also disappeared. Because fresh chili, fish sauce, and even special Vietnamese vegetarian food were all taken care of by the tour organizers. They brought rice cookers, instant noodles, and packaged pho noodles. If you like it, you can cook it, if you crave the taste, you can make pho noodles yourself and enjoy; add some fresh chili and a bowl of authentic Phu Quoc fish sauce to enjoy it even more.

It must be said that the majority of Buddhist devotees are women and the elderly, whose eating habits are difficult to adapt to the world of dark Indian curry, so the "innovation" of the above-mentioned "foreign land" visit service is considered a revolution.

India is not only a country with a unique culture and diverse religions, but also has many great architectural works and beautiful natural landscapes. Spiritual tourism is a form of experience that goes deep into emotions, aiming at experiences that heal the soul. When traveling to India for spiritual tourism, visitors cannot miss Tu Dong Tam.

Lumbini - Lumbini Garden is a famous land located at the foot of the Himalayas, a sacred pilgrimage site of Buddhism. This is where Buddha Shakyamuni - the founder of Buddhism - was born. Currently, the landscape in Lumbini has been more or less cared for by humans, besides the old brick foundation, a few shady trees, a few colorful flower bushes in the beautiful sky also make Lumbini highlight its hidden vitality, the birthplace of great people.

Bodh Gaya is a city in Gaya Bihar, where Buddha meditated for 49 days under the Bodhi tree and attained enlightenment. Coming here, you can pray at the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya and visit some other temples and pagodas such as Viet Nam Phat Quoc Tu, Maahbodhi Temple... Among Buddhist holy sites, Mahabodhi Temple is considered the most sacred place.

Sarnath - Deer Park - the holy land of Buddhism.According to historical records, after attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, Buddha Shakyamuni preached Buddhism to five ascetics and enlightened them.From then on, Buddhism began to spread widely here.

You should visit Sarnath early in the morning to visit the Ganges River, take a boat ride and watch the sunrise.This is one of the indispensable experiences when traveling on a pilgrimage to Varanasi.

From Varanasi, you will travel to Kushinagar. This is where Buddha entered nirvana. Along the way, you can visit other places such as Mahaparinirvana Temple, which houses a statue of Buddha in the position of entering nirvana, and Ramabhar Stupa - this is where Buddha was cremated.

There is a world of strange, wonderful, unbelievable but true things to discover in the Ganges civilization. Northern India never fails to challenge the emotional dimensions and curiosity of all of us. This is not a land that can be visited once and understood after a few visits.

Fortunately for me, with the current Noi Bai - Bodh Gaya charter flights, the "legendary land" of India has never been so close. That is also the humane meaning of the 4.0 era, when new technology and services "roll up our sleeves" to serve each of our aspirations to explore the world.
