Bangladesh Buddhism Culture Tour
Tour Duration: 10 Days, 9 Nights
Bangladesh is the most potential destination for Buddhist culture since Buddhism was originally spread from here and enlightened the whole world. The most important literary sources about Buddhism in India and Bangladesh could be traced from the travel report of great Chinese pilgrims. The most prominent ones were Fa-hien who travelled overland between 399-414 AD, Huen Tsang travelled between 629-645 AD and I-Tsing travelled between 671-692 AD. From the account of the most prominent Chinese pilgrims Tahien and Hiuen Tsaug mentioned that Lord Buddha with his 500 disciples visited Pundravardhana which is presently Mahasthangarh (in Bangladesh) and preached his new Gospel at SAMATATA (South Eastern part of Bangladesh) including the Lalmai and Moinamoti range. According to Arakanese book Rajoang that Buddha visited BURMA (Mayanmar) with his disciple and from there in his return journey he visited Hastigram, Amragram and Chandranath which is very near to Chittagong hill district of Bangladesh. The holly hair relics and foot prints of Lord Buddha have been preserved in the Nandan Kanan Buddhist Temple, Chittagong. From this valuable reserves some portion were donated to Srilanka in 1957, to Japan in 1964, to Thailand in 1979 and again to Srilanka in 2007. The Chandrnath Buddhist temple also has the rare footprint of Lord Buddha.

The Treasure of North Bengal
Tour Duration: 09 Nights, 10 Days
The vast alluvial floodplain of North Bengal were a cradle of ancient Buddhist and Hindu Kingdoms that held away over the region for centuries. Excavations at Mahasthangar have revealed cultural layers dating back to the third century BC. Descriptions of the area reached as far as Greece and China. Hiuen Tsiang, a Chinese traveller who visited Mahasthangar between 638 645 AD, described an earlier visit to the city by the Buddha. Ashoka, the great Mauryan emperor (250 BC), built a stupa in Mahasthangar to commemorate a relic left there by the Buddha. During the first several centuries after Christ many kingdoms- some Buddhist, others Hindu flourished, then decayed. In the mid- eighth century the people, tired of anarchy, raised to the throne an indigenous chief named Gopala. He began the famous Pala dynasty, whose kings ruled the lower Ganges and Brahmaputra valleys for more than three hundred years. The Pala kings were great patrons of art and learning. Eventually the Bangla school of Buddhism spread north through Nepal to Tibet and south through Myanmar to Java. This trip will give you the experience of the treasure of North Bengal that steals the attention of your camera.

As the feudal lords belonged to the Shiite Muslim sect, Ashura has long been celebrated gleefully in this palace. The current successors of the feudal lords still follow this tradition by organising a cultural fair in front of the palace during the first 10 days of the lunar month of Muharram every year.
