An integrated parking system covering four major tourist spots in Rajgir now offers a single ticket valid for up to eight hours, with fees ranging from ₹10 to ₹300 based on vehicle type.
The Bihar tourism department has introduced an integrated parking scheme across Rajgir’s Joo Safari, JP Park, Venu Van and Son Bhandar. Visitors can now purchase a single ticket that remains valid for up to eight hours at any of the four locations, simplifying vehicle management for tourists.
Pricing is tiered according to vehicle category, with charges ranging from ₹10 for two‑wheelers to ₹300 for larger automobiles. The system is designed to reduce congestion at entry points and provide a seamless experience for families and groups moving between the attractions.
Officials said the initiative aims to boost visitor convenience and encourage longer stays at the heritage town, which has seen a steady rise in domestic tourism. The integrated ticket can be bought at designated kiosks and via a mobile app, with real‑time availability displayed on digital boards at each site.
The rollout follows a pilot program that demonstrated reduced wait times and smoother traffic flow. Authorities will monitor usage patterns and may adjust rates or expand the scheme to other nearby sites based on feedback.
Travelers are advised to keep the ticket handy throughout their visit, as it serves as proof of payment for all four venues until the eight‑hour limit expires.
