It is recognized as one of the greatest and oldest institutions ever recorded in history and is situated about 85 miles from Patna.<\/p>\n<p>Both the earliest Indian epics and Hiuen Tsang&#8217;s travelogues make mention of it. The Gupta kings constructed several monasteries in the traditional Kusan style. Emperors Harshavandhana and Ashoka also supported this university by erecting a few temples, viharas, and monasteries for it. In March 2016, former president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam proposed the concept of restarting the university.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Time to Visit:<\/strong> October to March<\/p>\n<p><strong>Entry Fee:<\/strong> Free<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Hours:<\/strong> 9 AM to 5 PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Reach:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>By Air:<\/strong> The nearest airport is Patna Airport (89 km)<\/li>\n<li><strong>By Train:<\/strong> The nearest railway station is Nalanda Railway Station (5 km)<\/li>\n<li><strong>By Road:<\/strong> Well-connected by road with regular bus and taxi services from Patna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Travel Experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Historic Significance:<\/strong> Visit the ruins of the ancient Nalanda University, a premier learning center in ancient times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What to See:<\/strong> Explore the remains of stupas, temples, and lecture halls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/3-days-bodhgaya-nalanda-rajgir-tour-itinerary.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3 Days Bodhgaya Rajgir and Nalanda Tour<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-nav-mahavidya-of-nalanda\"><\/span>2.
