There are many simple and clean budget hotels, such as Buddha Vihar or Siddhartha Vihar available in the Bihar tourist complex in Bodhgaya. There are also dormitories and rooms with basic accommodation facilities available in the monasteries. Bhutan Monastery also has single and family rooms. These rooms are very simple and basic but are clean. These monasteries do not charge rent but they can accept donations. Royal Residency located in Domuhan Road offers a comfortable stay but at a slightly higher price than other hotels in the area. There are a number of restaurants in Bodhgaya serving anything from traditional Bihari preparation to Continental cuisine. Royal Residency has its own multi cuisine restaurant. With the number of Tibetan’s in the area, it is not a surprise that a lot of restaurants serve Tibetan dishes, such as momos. There are these small cafes and restaurants that serve descent food, such as Café Om and Paljor.
Many Buddhist also believe Bodhgaya to be the centre of Buddhism. It was here that Prince Siddhartha attained enlightenment and became Gautam Buddha. Although Buddhism is the main focus in Bodhgaya, but with its many other attractions, this small corner in Bihar has become more than just a pilgrimage.
