Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Arrival in Varanasi
- Upon arrival, meet and greet at Varanasi Airport/Railway Station and transfer to the hotel.
- Varanasi, also known as Banaras or Kashi, is one of the oldest living cities in the world. Its prominence in Hindu mythology is virtually unparalleled.
- Mark Twain, the English author and poet, who was captivated by the legend and sanctity of Banaras, once wrote: "Banaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together." The origins of Varanasi, the home of Lord Shiva and Parvati, are unknown.
- The Ganges in Varanasi is believed to have the power to wash away the sins of mortals.
- Later in the evening, proceed for the Ganga Aarti at the Ghat.
- Every evening, Ganga Aarti is performed in three holy cities of India: Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Varanasi. Each city has its own unique vibe and energy.
- It is said that one should experience all three Aartis at least once in a lifetime. The Aarti is always conducted facing the River Ganga, with many lamps lit during the ceremony, usually circled by priests in a clockwise direction.
- The Aarti is accompanied by various songs sung in praise of the Ganga, and it is believed that the lamps acquire the power of the deity.
Day 2 Varanasi Sightseeing & Transfer to Ayodhya by Surface (Approx. 220 Kms/03 Hrs.)
- Early morning boat ride tour will provide you with a true view of holy Varanasi, where you will witness the morning rituals and special features of the various Ghats along the way, including the burning ghat where the dead are cremated. (Boat Ride at Own Cost)
- After your boat ride, visit the popular Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Annapurna Temple.
- After the temple visit, return to the hotel for breakfast. After breakfast, check out and proceed to Sarnath.
- Sarnath is a quiet and spiritual town set amidst the densely populated state of Uttar Pradesh. It is a city of historical marvels, featuring numerous Buddhist stupas, museums, excavated ancient sites, and beautiful temples that offer immense wonder and astonishment to tourists due to their mystical and serene setting. Located only 10 kilometers from Varanasi, Sarnath is a popular pilgrimage destination for Buddhists, Jains, and Hindus alike.
- After Sarnath, proceed to Ayodhya. Ayodhya, located on the banks of the Sarayu River in Uttar Pradesh, is one of the seven sacred cities for Hindus. It plays a critical role in the Hindu epic of Ramayana, as it is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama. This religious town is also the birthplace of four of Jainism's 24 Tirthankaras (religious teachers), attracting tourists with its serene ghats.
- Upon arrival, check in at the hotel. Overnight stay at the Ayodhya Hotel.
Day 3 Ayodhya Sightseeing & Transfer to Prayagraj by Surface (Approx. 167 Kms/03 ½ Hrs.)
- Early morning, have breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast, proceed for Ayodhya sightseeing.
- Ramjanma Bhoomi: Ramjanma Bhoomi is believed to be the birthplace of the Hindu deity, Lord Ram. According to the Indian epic Ramayan, Ram, the seventh manifestation of Lord Vishnu, is said to have grown up along the river Sarayu in Ayodhya. It is a highly revered site for Hindu devotees.
- Hanuman Garhi: Located in Sai Nagar, Hanuman Garhi is a 10th-century temple dedicated to the Hindu god Hanuman. It is one of the most important temples in Ayodhya, as it is customary to visit Hanuman Garhi before visiting the Ram Temple. It is believed that Lord Hanuman lived at the temple site, guarding Ayodhya.
- Kanak Bhawan: Kanak Bhawan is situated towards the northeastern corner of the Ram Janmabhoomi in Tulsi Nagar. Constructed in 1891, this temple is also known as Sone-ka-Ghar. It is a holy site dedicated to the Hindu deity Lord Rama and his wife, Goddess Sita.
- Sita Ki Rasoi: Sita Ki Rasoi is believed to be an ancient kitchen used by the goddess Sita herself. Built close to the Ram Janmabhoomi, this sacred site is now a temple housing some exhibit vessels.
- After sightseeing, proceed to Prayagraj. Prayag, or Prayagraj, was the ancient name of the city of Allahabad. Prayag also signifies the confluence of the rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. After the Mughal invasion, Emperor Akbar, impressed by the location, named the city Ilahabas, meaning "Abode of God." His grandson, Emperor Shah Jahan, later renamed the city Allahabad.
- Upon arrival, check in at the hotel. Overnight stay at the Prayagraj hotel.
Day 4 Prayagraj Sightseeing & Transfer to Varanasi by Surface (Approx. 120 Kms/03 Hrs.)
- In the morning, have breakfast at the hotel.
- After breakfast, check out and proceed for Prayagraj sightseeing:
- Triveni Sangam is the junction point of three rivers: the Ganga, the Yamuna, and the Saraswati (a mythical river that is believed to have dried up millennia ago). Both the Ganga and the Yamuna are highly revered rivers in Indian mythology, making the confluence point of these rivers extremely significant in terms of religious importance.
- Anand Bhawan is the former residence of the Nehru family, which has now been transformed into a museum showcasing various artifacts and articles from the era of the Indian Independence Movement.
- Khusro Bagh was built by King Jahangir for his son Khusro. The tombstone of the prince lies in this garden, along with that of his mother, Shah Begum.
- Bade Hanuman Mandir is located in the Sangam area of Allahabad. This temple is unique as it was built underground and has a leaning posture that is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide.
- After sightseeing, proceed to Varanasi.
- Upon arrival, check in at the hotel for an overnight stay in Varanasi.
Day 5 Varanasi Temple Tour & Departure from Varanasi
- Early morning, have breakfast at the hotel.
- After breakfast, check out of the hotel and proceed for the temple tour of Varanasi.
- Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple is situated by the River Assi and was built in the 1900s by the freedom fighter Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya. It is dedicated to Lord Rama and Hanuman.
- Tulsi Manas Mandir is dedicated to Lord Rama and named after the saint poet Tulsi Das. It displays the Shikhara style of architecture and exhibits various inscriptions from the Ram Charit Manas on the walls of the temple.
- Bharat Mata Mandir is a unique shrine dedicated to our country, Mother India. The temple has no deities, only a relief map of the country carved in marble. The temple was the brainchild of Babu Shiv Prasad Gupta, a freedom fighter. It was built in 1936 and inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi, and has since been the only one in the world dedicated to a country.
- Durga Temple is located near the Durga Ghat on the bank of the River Ganga. Built in the 18th century, it houses an imposing idol of Goddess Durga and is one of the main temples in Varanasi.

Yattri's contact Ms Varsha was in constant touch everyday and ready to help. Dri (Read More)ver and guide Mr Sonu was very helpful and loaded with information. Overall, the trip was value for money ?
One of the hotel in Varanasi, "Vikram", the room was good, but the food was not (Read More)ok. Both of us had stomach upset, hence we had to request for change of accommodation.
Flight was booked by Spicejet, who suddenly cancelled the flight and we had to spend one more day in Varanasi. Even on the next day, the flight was delayed by over 3 hours.

The first person who is related to Yatri, Varanasi met on 20th Oct was Mr Sonu, (Read More)Driver at Varanasi Airport. Almost for the entire day through some hours of the night also he spent his time with us. As more than a driver he is a very good tourist guide. The hotels in which we stayed, from where we had our lunch or other food items all had very good liaison with Mr Sonu. More than the other persons like wheelchair walas, guides, poojaries etc. etc. he keeps very good relationship. The cleanliness in all restaurants is of high order. regularly supplied ingredient in any time food, which is not very palatable to all of us.
The food that we had from any hotel for that matter was very good except for Paneer was a regular supplied.
Overall the percentage of marks the whole set of people who provided the service was of high rank, say 80-85%. We will remember you throughout and also recommend other known tourist to contact when needed. We all wish the team of yaatri be the best tour operators in your region.
The bed materials like blankets were not of good standard in some hotel-rooms.

Athula • 8 months ago
Overall planning was good. but execution needs further improvement. We had sligh (Read More)t hitches here and there with respect to hotel arrangements. The conveyance arranged was fine and the driver was skilled and well mannered, though slightly lacking in punctuality. The tour organisers were very cordial, polite and receptive to our suggestions. One suggestion is for the tour operator to coordinate with the hotels and detail the plans before the guests arrive so that no confusion arises at the reception counter on arrival. Overall I will give a rating of 8/10
