The problem is that the age of technology and services allows you to experience India without having to "go along" with the "mortification". It is completely possible to dream of a direct flight of about 3 hours, from Noi Bai International Airport, "dropping an umbrella" to Bodh Gaya - Bodh Gaya to worship Buddha at the sacred Bodhi tree, where Buddha sat in meditation for 49 days and became enlightened as Buddha; then, you can peacefully travel around the mountains and rivers, exploring other Buddhist relics. You can also admire the World Cultural Heritage Masterpieces such as the Taj Mahal "a teardrop on the cheek of time" or the majestic Ganges River and Varanasi - the city that the famous writer Mark Twain praised: " older than history, older than tradition, older than legend, and looks older than all of the above put together! ". 
Traveling now is much more enjoyable than a few years ago. I took a charter flight of Vietravel. Direct flight! They chartered a whole plane (special plane) to serve tourists. Up to now, no Vietnamese airline has opened a direct flight from Vietnam to India. It takes about 3 hours, a little further than the Hanoi - Phu Quoc flight. The fear of those who cannot eat the strong curry smell in all dishes at Indian restaurants has also disappeared. Because fresh chili, fish sauce, and even special Vietnamese vegetarian food are all taken care of by the tour organizers. They even brought rice cookers, instant noodles, and packaged pho noodles. If you like it, you can cook it, if you crave the taste, you can make it yourself and enjoy it; add a little fresh chili and a bowl of authentic Phu Quoc fish sauce to enjoy it even more. It must be said that the majority of Buddhist devotees are women and the elderly, whose eating habits are difficult to adapt to the world of dark Indian curry, so the "innovation" of the above-mentioned "strange land" visit service is considered a revolution. It is true to say this, even the most self-discovering backpackers, after "tasting" all the struggles, hauntings, coldness, sometimes a bit sloppy and too dusty of India, they will see the wonderful value of the current "chartering a private jet" style of tourism. India is not only a country with a unique culture, diverse religions, many great architectural works, beautiful natural landscapes, and spiritual tourism is a form of experience that goes deep into emotions, aiming at experiences that heal the soul. Spiritual tourism in India cannot ignore Tu Dong Tam. 
Lumbini - Lumbini Garden is a famous land located at the foot of the Himalayas, a sacred pilgrimage site of Buddhism. This is where Buddha Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, was born. Currently, the landscape in Lumbini has been more or less cared for by humans. Besides the old brick foundation, a few shady trees, a few colorful flower bushes in the beautiful sky also make Lumbini exude a hidden vitality, the birthplace of great people. 
Bodh Gaya is a city in Gaya Bihar, where Buddha meditated for 49 days under the Bodhi tree and attained enlightenment. Coming here, you can pray at the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya and visit some other temples and pagodas such as Viet Nam Phat Quoc Tu, Mahabodhi Temple... Among Buddhist holy sites, Mahabodhi Temple is considered the most sacred place. 
Sarnath - Deer Park - the holy land of Buddhism. According to historical records, after attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, Buddha Shakyamuni preached Buddhism to five ascetics and enlightened them. From then on, Buddhism began to spread widely here. You should visit Sarnath early in the morning to visit the Ganges River, take a boat along the banks of the Ganges River and watch the sunrise. This is one of the indispensable experiences when traveling on a pilgrimage to Varanasi. 
From Varanasi, you will travel to Kushinagar. This is where Buddha entered nirvana. On the way, you can visit more places such as Mahaparinirvana Temple, where there is a statue of Buddha lying in the nirvana posture and Ramabhar Tower - this is the place where Buddha was cremated. There is a whole world of strange, interesting, unbelievable but true things in Indian civilization on the banks of the Ganges River to explore. Northern India has never ceased to challenge the emotional dimensions and curiosity of all of us. This is not a land that can be visited once and understood after a few visits. And, for me, fortunately, with the current Noi Bai - Bodh Gaya charter flights, the "legendary land" of India has never been so close. That is also the humanistic meaning of the 4.0 era, when technology and new services "roll up their sleeves" to serve the desire to explore the world of each of us.
