(Day 11) Sarnath


We really had a nice memory for the boat-riding along the Ghats river Ganges. Then we walked back to the bus. Well ! passed by so many streets.....We saw the morning life at Varanasi...it's beautiful....olden taste........I like that.....Then we went back hotel to take breakfast. After that we got up the bus and went to Sarnath. It's about 10 km from Varanasi.

When we reached there, we went to the museum first. I love it, so many valueable items to see and to understand. We could see the four headed iron pillars in this archeological museum. It's was the King Ashoka Pillar. Then we visited to the deer park and inside have the Dharmarajika stupa, Dhamek stupa, etc...Here was the place where Buddha preached his first sermon to the five erstwhile companions.







Then we visited to the nearest buddhist society, there we could see many historical events photos.



We did visited to the silk shop and outside the shop we saw the male and female monkey made the performance. The owner trained them well !


We went back to the hotel to have some light foods and prepared for the luggages. Then we moved to railway station.


Wow! not so easy to reach therailway station, need to walk a long way. Luckly we had the potter to help us carried the heavy luggages...not so convenient for the old people. Some photos in railway station, on the train and we took our dinner in the train. Our train travelled from Varanasi to Calcutta.
