Kesariya Stupa Taxi Guide: World's Largest Buddhist Stupa Travel Tips

Kesariya, in East Champaran district, is home to the world's largest and tallest Buddhist stupa — even taller than Indonesia's Borobudur. It's a must-visit for history and architecture enthusiasts.

Route & Distance

• Patna to Kesariya: ~110 km via Muzaffarpur/Motihari, about 3 hours by taxi.
• Motihari to Kesariya: Just ~30 km, an easy half-day trip.

We recommend combining Kesariya with a Motihari or Champaran Satyagraha heritage trail visit for a fuller day trip. Book a round-trip taxi so the driver waits while you explore the stupa grounds.
