The brief

Dining and the evening as one person
Solo dining is curated through our heritage-dining wing, courtyard tables, hotel-restaurant tables that hold up for one, and private chef-led meals where appropriate.

For Solo Travellers questions
Why is Rajgir significant?
Rajgir was Rajagriha, the first capital of the ancient Magadha kingdom, and is deeply sacred to both Buddhism and Jainism. The Buddha preached here on Vulture's Peak, and the first Buddhist council met nearby after his passing.
What is the Rajgir ropeway?
It is a single-seat chairlift that carries visitors up Ratnagiri hill to the Vishwa Shanti Stupa, the white peace pagoda, offering fine views over the surrounding hills. It is one of the town's most popular experiences.
Are Rajgir's sites ruins?
Several are, the ancient fortification walls and some historic sites survive as ruins and pilgrimage spots rather than intact monuments. Others, like the peace pagoda, hot springs, and hill temples, are living and active. Our escort sets expectations clearly.
