Auto-rickshaws ply back and forth Gaya and Bodhgaya, but they are overcrowded most of the time. There are a number of budget hotels and places of cheap accommodation in Bodhgaya, within walking distance from the main bus stand. Some of the monasteries belonging to other countries also provide accommodation to the tourists. The quality of food in the off-season is not good. However, during winters it improves remarkably.
Tourists can savor a variety of cuisines other than traditional Indian food.
Chinese, Tibetan and western food are available in the restaurants across the town.
