Life's hard in India and much much harder here in Bodhgaya.

On route up to Rajagriha,Vulture's Peak. Where Heart Sutra (Perfection of Wisdom) was first taught by Budhha.                             

            

Our guide for the day

Here's the more challenging, traditional route taken by experienced pilgrims who are on their way down.  Second shot is taken from the top - the other end from where they started.

The city folks (ie.  us) ,  took the scenic, comfortable, well paved path. Sigh...Better don't trip and embarrass ourselves.

Everyone did their Heart Sutra right on the spot. So did the other pilgrims from Tibet, India, Nepal, Korea, HK..
