The Rajgir - Jethian Path (approximately 18 km) was a pilgrimage route connecting the important pilgrimage places of Bodh Gaya - Pragbodhi - Jethian - Tapovana - Rajgir - Indrasaila Guha (Parwati). Xuanzang, the famous 7th Century Chinese monk pilgrim, took this route connecting to the important pilgrimage places associated with the Buddha. This pilgrimage path is once again ready for the followers of the Buddha to tread in his footsteps.
