For the vast majority of travelers, Gaya International Airport (GAY) is the only logical choice. It is the only airport situated in the immediate vicinity of the city center—all other airports listed are located in neighboring cities and require several hours of additional travel. While Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport (PAT) provides a significantly higher frequency of domestic flights, it necessitates a 3-hour journey by road or rail. Birsa Munda Airport (IXR), Deoghar Airport (DGH), and Darbhanga Airport (DBR) serve different regions entirely and are generally only practical if you are already touring those areas. If you prioritize comfort and time, aim for a flight into GAY. If you are budget-conscious and cannot find a flight to GAY, PAT is your best secondary alternative due to its better connectivity to the rail network, which offers a reliable, low-cost path to the destination. Always verify your flight schedule against available taxi or train timings, as rural transfers can be limited during late-night arrivals.

Comfortable and luxurious stay. Clean and well maintained. Good service. Prime and proper location, close to all the tourist spots. Though the food is quite expensive and lastly the hotel parking space is quite limited and lacks a proper space. Otherwise the hotel management and staff are quite cooperative and helpful.FromUS$49

This hotel can be given excellent rating only for their restaurant! The hotel itself is very worn, the room fund is old, but there is everything to bring yourself in order, sleep and eat. Towels change every day, with water no problems, the room is quite comfortable. And, most importantly, the restaurant of international cuisine, where for adequate money you can eat almost European food. Before that place we were in India (Delhi, Varanasi), we never ate normally, and here - dishes similar to the European kitchen, say ”no acute” - will not make acute. Specially returned from walking around Bodh Gai here, to the hotel to lunch, And necessarily dinner, one portion for two is quite enough. In general, this hotel is a bright example of how to ”be” rather than ”look,” - people will normally treat the old ”initiation” if you have a normal service. I never write such a phrase, but this time I will write - if we come to Bodh-Gay again - we will stop here.FromUS$28

The room was big and clean. The waiter was very helpful. There was a wedding downstairs during the two nights I stayed there. It was very lively and didn't get quiet until around 2am. I think this is the custom of Indians. The hotel waiter only speaks English and Hindi, no Chinese.FromUS$52

Hotel Bodh Villas is a welcoming place in GAYA, Bihar. The food was exceptionally good in that hot meals are always custom made-to-order and delicious. The hotel ***agement facilitates cab services, which are somewhat expensive compared to the local fare. The views from the individual room balcony are stunningly picturesque since we see Buddhist temple architectures. The service was exceptional although our room floors needed to be cleaned of debris more often. We had to make multiple requests to have fresh towels delivered everyday. All shops and points of interest are between 10+ kilometers away, so we are entirely dependent on the hotel staff for any of our needs. Fortunately
They have an exception food service available between 7 am and 11pm. The walls between rooms are thin and the adjoining guests can create a noise problem. We plan to revisit the hotel upon our next visit. We provided this feedback and they have kept it in advisement. FromUS$21
