Gorakhphur is uniquely placed at the crossroad between where the Buddha was born (Lumbini in Nepal) and died (Kushinagar), although for many travellers it’s merely a waystation on the road between Varanasi and Nepal. As such it’s a busy transport hub and well set up to accommodate travellers. There are no major tourist attractions in the city, although a Buddhist museum is near the lake on the southern outskirts and the Gorakhnath Temple, devoted to Guru Gorakhnath, is 4km west of the station.
Gita Press (2334721; www.gitapress.org), a renowned publisher, has a formidable range of religious books for sale and a huge art gallery of Hindu mythology on the 1st floor.
