Taxila, as a foremost exponent of the ancient Gandhara civilization, is a must-see. It might not be possible to finish off everything in a single day, especially if you are accompanied by young children. The ruins are spread over a 30-minute drive starting from the Museum (a must-see) and in two directions. Rocky land and hilly climbs have to be encountered on foot rendering it a romantic and mysterious sojourn. Labelling is minimal, both at the museum and the ruins. Julian and Sirkap are the obvious favourites. However, let me strongly recommend a visit to the Mohra Moradu Buddhist monastery situated in a high valley at 20-minute drive from Taxila museum (just ahead of Sirkap). It was founded during the Kushan rule in the second century. A narrow but drivable road leads to the monastery through the Mohra Moradu village. Do mind the sharp bends once you are very close to the destination. Once there you will be close to a huge, and a smaller, but better preserved stupa. The monastery has much to offer with monks’ cells and the rectangular depression which had water for cleaning. A stupa (intriguingly) and statues are located inside the cells.
Beautiful Archaeological Site in the Taxila
It was the good experience there
Not something that would attract local tourists
What a historical place nice place to reach
A great place. It was an old city which was built by the emperor Ashoka. It looks a bit artificial now but they say that it's original. There are certain walls that look like 2500 years old like the Temple,... Don't go there without a guide otherwise you won't get anything and there is a lot of history and interesting facts that only a guide can tell you.
Exrtremely joyable place
