Area by area

01
Hajipur
Best for: Travellers who want a closer base without staying in the village
Good to know: The district headquarters has hotels, markets and a major railway junction. It is a more practical base than the village, and the drive to the main sites is shorter than from Patna. Choose a hotel with reliable power and check lift access if you are travelling with elders.
02
Patna
Best for: Comfort, flights and trains, with a day trip to Vaishali
Good to know: The capital has the widest choice of hotels, hospitals and restaurants, plus the airport. The trade-off is a long road day to Vaishali, with bridge traffic that can add time. Best for a single-day visit combined with the Patna Museum.
Sights in this area: Ashokan Pillar, Kolhua
03
Vaishali and Basarh villages
Best for: Travellers who want early starts and quiet evenings
Good to know: Accommodation is limited and basic, and the state tourism corporation has run a hotel and hostel here. Check availability, rooms and meals in advance and confirm the current rates. A good choice for those who want to visit the sites at opening time.

Before you book

Ask for a lift, or a ground-floor room — many heritage hotels have steps and no lift.
Check how far the hotel is from the sights you care about, in minutes by road, not kilometres.
Prefer free cancellation until close to the date, in case plans or health change.
Look for 24-hour reception, in-house dining and a doctor-on-call policy.
Read recent reviews for noise — old-city streets and wedding venues can be loud late.
