Now Kushinagar Airport has a major upgrade to create space for the movement of international flights. In this development, Kushinagar will be India’s 29th international airport, and it will improve its connectivity with other parts of the world which, in turn, will give a significant boost to the tourism and economy of the region.

Kushinagar is an ancient town having great religious value. It’s one of the four main pilgrimage centers for Buddhists, the others being Lumbini (Nepal), Bodhgaya, and Sarnath. Kushinagar is where Buddha took his last breath. There are numerous temples that you can visit to understand Buddhism as a religion.

Kushinagar’s fame lies in the fact that it is one of the four holy places related to the life of Gautam Buddha. Along with Sarnath, Bodh Gaya, and Lumbini (in Nepal), Kushinagar is one of the most visited places by the followers of Buddhism. Located 53 KM from Gorakhpur, Kushinagar is the place where Gautam Buddha left his mortal body and attained Mahaparinirvana under the tree near Hiranyavati River.
