Uttar Pradesh Varanasi
The Spiritual Capital
From the ghats of Kashi to the Bodhi tree at Bodhgaya and the Himalayan foothills — every place we send you to is one we travel ourselves.
Our map follows the Ganga and the roads that grew around it. Most journeys begin in Varanasi and fan out — north to Ayodhya, west to the Sangam at Prayagraj, east into Bihar for the Buddhist circuit, or up into Uttarakhand where the river leaves the mountains.

Mark Twain called it older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend. We call it home. Almost every itinerary we write starts here, because Varanasi is both the easiest place to arrive and the hardest place to leave.
Give it three days and you will see the corridor at dawn, drift past the burning ghats at dusk, eat kachori sabzi standing up in a lane too narrow for a car, and understand why people come back.
Most booked 
Kashi Vishwanath, Kaal Bhairav, Neelkanth and the shrines along the upper Ganga.
4–7 days
Ayodhya to Chitrakoot, following the exile route through the places the epic actually names.
5–6 days
Sarnath, Bodhgaya, Rajgir, Nalanda and Kushinagar in one unhurried loop.
5–6 days
Three cities, three very different aartis — Dashashwamedh, Har Ki Pauri and Triveni Ghat.
4–5 daysDrive times assume a daytime start in a private vehicle. We plan long legs as overnight trains wherever that gets you an extra morning at the destination.
Cool mornings, clear evenings and the full festival calendar — Dev Deepawali, Kartik Purnima, Magh Mela. Book six to eight weeks ahead.
Hot and bright, but the ghats are empty and rates drop sharply. We shift sightseeing to before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m.
The river rises and the lower ghats go under, which is its own spectacle. Boat rides pause on high-water days; temples stay open.
Still unsure about something? Call us — a planner in Varanasi will pick up, not a call centre.
Ask Us AnythingTwo nights and three days covers the corridor, a sunrise boat ride, the evening aarti and Sarnath without rushing. Add a night if you want a free morning for the lanes and the food.
Yes, and it is our most requested route. Five days is comfortable: two in Varanasi, one at the Sangam in Prayagraj, two in Ayodhya. We drive it in a private vehicle so you keep your luggage with you the whole way.
Where the temple trust offers an official paid darshan slot, we book it and show the cost on your quote. We do not pay touts for queue-jumping, and we will tell you honestly when a wait is simply unavoidable.
It is, with the right pacing. The driving legs are long, so we break them with a night at Bodhgaya rather than pushing through. Rajgir has a ropeway, and wheelchairs can be arranged at Mahabodhi with a day of notice.
Hotel on the room plan you choose, a private air-conditioned vehicle with driver for the whole trip, all toll and parking, and a local guide at each sightseeing point. Flights, trains, meals and entry tickets are listed separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
For Dev Deepawali, Mahashivratri and the Kumbh, eight to twelve weeks. Hotels near the ghats sell out first and their rates roughly double in the final month.
Let Kashi Experts help you plan a journey that touches your soul.
