From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Devark Sun Temple
Deo Sun Temple is 100 ft high. Built during the 8th century. There is a huge pond surrounding it. During Chhath festival, it is just not possible to reach to the temple on any vehicle but on foot. Those interested in Nagar style of building construction can go and see this temple. Good place to visit.
Raja Kila
An old king fort.
By car
The road is very good so the journey can be quite fast. It takes roughly 3 hours to 3.5 hours from Patna to arrive. The best way is to avoid the Dev Market, as the roads are very narrow.
By train
The nearest railway station is Anugraha Narayan Road Railway Station, 16 km away. From there, you can take a bus or a three-wheel taxi (rickshaw).
By bus
On foot
Deo is very walkable. Most of the major destinations are within 1 km (about a half-hour walk) from the Deo Sun Temple.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
