Hindus believe in moksha, which is the release from samsara (reincarnation).

So in a way, they are very similar. But after achieving moksha, a person's soul is joined with Brahman, the world soul, while nirvana is the complete wiping from existence.

Buddhists believe in Nirvana (nibbana) which is beyond heaven. They achieve it by attaining enlightenment, which is their life goal. (They, like Hindus, believe in reincarnation, the details of which depend on one's previous life.)

Hindus believe in Samara (or reincarnation). So through their lives they try to achieve moksha (or nirvana/heaven). If they do not reach moksha in their lifetime they are returned to earth, but not always as a human. Depending on their previous life will beside whether they come back as a prince or a bug.

How do most Hindus regard their journey through life?

Hindus of today are different from the earlier Hindus who followed the Sanatana Dharma. Those ancient Hindus regarded their journey of life to be one where they have to attain the goal of Moksha or Liberation. Today's Hindus are as lost as the rest of the world. We believe in many Gods with names and forms. We believe that we will go to heaven and hell, we believe in all the fairy tales like Santa Claus and a God with an elephant head. But most of the Hindus are in this unfortunate situation. There are a few Hindus who still believe in the original Upanishads and the Vedas which tell us we are not the body, we are not the mind, we are the Divine Soul, and to be liberated and united with God is our ultimate goal. This is how they live their life.
