Nalanda youths set off on study tour to Bujang Valley

Fresh and eager, the group is currently en-route to Sungai Petani.

This morning, 36 Nalanda youths and members set off on a 3-day study tour to Bujang Valley to visit historical and archaeological locales there.  Situated in Central Kedah, the Bujang Valley is the richest archaeological site in Malaysia.  Ruins of ancient Buddhist structures dating from the 1st Century BCE, and much-later Hindu temples dating from the 10th Century CE, can be found scattered across the district.

Organised by Nalanda Youth Centre, the entourage will also be partly hosted by Nalanda Sungai Petani Branch upon their arrival.  We wish the group a safe, joyful and fruitful study tour!

Early in the morning, the youths offered dana to Ven. Alokavamsa and Sayalay Mitta Devi.
