  • Beware of people selling you artifacts, coins, busts, etc at these sites. They may be selling some artifacts that they may have dug out themselves, as smuggling of such relics from these sites is quite rampant. It is also a crime against humanity if someone does this.

    At Least Do This: If you do want some replicas, visit the gift shop as they keep various statues and jewelry replicas for sale.
    Alternative: Various handicraft shops around Pakistan carry replicas from this period. Buy there and do get a proper reciept as custom official may get suspicious.

     I think I will have to undertake a visit to our Nalanda as well. These places need to brought in VT. There is not a single tip on VT about the place. Great tips by you as usual on Taxila.

     I'll happily confess my knowledge of Taxila was slight (read near nil) till I read this excellent page. What a marvellous historical site this is!
