Gorakhpur
Tourism
Visit Gorakhpur, a charming city in the north of Uttar Pradesh,
famous for its proximity with Nepal and Kushinagar. It is only 90 Km
from Nepal Border. The small town used to be a major centre of trade
earlier. The handloom business in the city is still going great.
Though a small place, it offers temples, museums and lakes to the
tourists. The land has been connected to Lord Buddha, founder of
Buddhism, who renounced his princely costumes at the confluence of
rivers Rapti & Rohini. It is also associated with Lord Mahavir,
24th tirthankar, founder of Jainism. Gorakhpur was the principal
seat of Saint Gorakhnath.
