A short and intensely spiritual circuit through three of India's holiest cities. Your journey opens in Varanasi with darshan at the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the unforgettable Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, performed on the riverbank as evening falls. Travel on to Sarnath, where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon, and then to the Triveni Sangam at Prayagraj, the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati, where you may take a holy dip. The tour closes in Ayodhya at the birthplace of Lord Ram, with visits to the grand Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, Hanuman Garhi and the beautiful Kanak Bhawan, before departure from Lucknow. A compact pilgrimage that covers remarkable ground in three days.
The places and experiences that define this journey.
Here is what each day looks like. Every itinerary can be adjusted to suit you.
Your spiritual journey begins with your morning arrival at Varanasi Railway Station, where our driver will warmly receive you and transfer you to the hotel for check-in and breakfast. Later in the morning you head out to the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Temple. In the afternoon sightseeing continues with the historic Durga Kund Temple and the beautiful Tulsi Manas Mandir. As evening approaches you are taken to Dashashwamedh Ghat to witness the breathtaking, world-famous Ganga Aarti from the riverbanks, before returning to the hotel for dinner and a peaceful overnight stay. Please note that heavy vehicles are not permitted in the narrow lanes leading to Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the main ghats; local e-rickshaws are readily available for these short stretches.
This is the most intensive day of the tour, so an early start of around 7:00 AM is strongly advised to allow unhurried time at the Triveni Sangam and arrival in Ayodhya before late evening. After breakfast, take an excursion to Sarnath, the holy site where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon, to see the Dhamek Stupa, then drive on to Prayagraj. On arrival head straight to the holy Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers, where you may take a holy dip. By mid-afternoon continue on a scenic drive to Ayodhya, arriving in the evening to check into your hotel, relax and enjoy a warm dinner.
After a refreshing breakfast at the hotel, your morning is dedicated to exploring the birthplace of Lord Ram, visiting the grand, newly constructed Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, Hanuman Garhi and the beautiful Kanak Bhawan. Return to the hotel by midday to pack up, check out and have lunch. In the afternoon your driver takes you to Lucknow Airport via the national highway, arriving in good time for your onward flight and concluding a beautiful and memorable spiritual journey.
