3-star hotels in Rajgir
This shortlist covers the 3-star hotels in Rajgir, the pilgrimage and heritage town in Bihar. It is for pilgrims and travellers who want a mid-range base near the town centre, the hot springs and the road to the ropeway.
Staying in Rajgir
Rajgir is a quiet town built around religious heritage and archaeology. The Buddha taught the Lotus Sutra on Griddhakuta Hill (Vulture Peak), and the town holds the Bamboo Grove, the ruins of the ancient Cyclopean Wall and hot springs believed to have healing properties. Jains revere it as the place where Lord Mahavira spent several years, and the ropeway to the Peace Pagoda is a popular activity. The hills give views over the surrounding plains. These 3-star hotels sit in and around the Rajgir Town Centre, the central area by the main bus stand and market, and along Virayatan Road and Veerayatan Road towards the sites. The mix suits couples and families on a short break, pilgrims who want a restaurant and parking on site, and business travellers needing meeting or banquet space.
