Ayodhya with Varanasi & Prayagraj Tour

04 Nights / 05 Days   Fully Guided Tours   Private Car  

Lucknow - Ayodhya - Prayagraj - Varanasi

Trip Overview

Many Indian-origin families living abroad wish to visit not just Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir, but also the spiritually significant cities of Kashi (Varanasi) and Prayagraj. These three destinations together form a powerful spiritual triangle that offers blessings, heritage, and deep emotional connection to India’s ancient culture.

This carefully planned 5-day private tour for NRIs includes Ram Janmabhoomi Darshan, Ganga Aarti in Varanasi, and a visit to the holy Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj. It’s a seamless journey with luxury stays, private transport, English-speaking guides, and special assistance for senior travelers.

Ayodhya with Varanasi & Prayagraj Tour :- Detail Itinerary

Day 1 Lucknow Arrival – Scenic Drive to Ayodhya – Spiritual Riverfront Walk

Once you arrive in Lucknow, our courteous team will warmly receive you at the airport, railway station, or your hotel. From here, your journey into India’s spiritual heartland begins. Sit back in your private luxury vehicle as you pass through the countryside of Uttar Pradesh on your way to the holy city of Ayodhya — the birthplace of Lord Shri Ram.

Upon arrival, check into a carefully selected pure vegetarian hotel known for its spiritual ambiance and senior-friendly services. After freshening up, step out for an easy-paced guided walk around Ram Ki Paidi, a sacred riverfront built on the banks of the Saryu River. Here, you’ll witness devotees lighting diyas and chanting hymns as the sun begins to set — a perfect way to gently immerse yourself in Ayodhya’s divine atmosphere.

If time and energy permit, visit Nageshwarnath Temple or take a quiet moment at the Saryu Ghat, where legends say Lord Ram once bathed.

Overnight stay in Ayodhya.

Day 2 Shri Ram Mandir Darshan – Heritage Sites – Journey to Prayagraj

Wake up early to prepare for the most awaited moment of the tour — the darshan of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir. Accompanied by our knowledgeable local guide, proceed to the newly built Ram Mandir. We ensure smooth entry and guidance during temple timings so that your experience is calm, respectful, and spiritually fulfilling.

After darshan, you may explore other nearby shrines like:

  • Hanuman Garhi – a hilltop temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman
  • Kanak Bhawan – believed to be gifted to Sita by Kaikeyi
  • Sita Ki Rasoi – a sacred spot connected to Sita's daily life

Return to your hotel for breakfast and check-out. Then begin the comfortable 4.5-hour drive to Prayagraj, formerly known as Allahabad — one of the holiest pilgrimage cities in India.

Upon arrival, visit the Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of three rivers: Ganga, Yamuna, and the invisible Saraswati. You’ll have the chance to offer prayers or even take a holy dip. Later, explore the Anand Bhavan (Nehru family home) and the famous Bade Hanuman Temple beneath the fort walls.

Overnight stay in Prayagraj.

Day 3 Cultural Drive to Varanasi – Evening Ganga Aarti Experience

After breakfast, begin your scenic 3-hour journey to Varanasi — one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities and the spiritual capital of India. Once in Varanasi, check in at your pure veg hotel and relax for a few hours.

In the evening, get ready for one of the most soul-stirring sights in all of India — the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. Thousands gather here every day to witness the grand ritual, where priests holding large brass lamps perform synchronized movements to the sound of conch shells, mantras, and bhajans. Your guide will escort you to a prime viewing spot and explain the meaning behind every gesture.

If desired, a boat ride on the Ganges during Aarti can be arranged to enhance the experience.

Overnight stay in Varanasi.

Day 4 Sacred Temple Tour of Varanasi – Optional Ganga Boat Ride

Begin your morning with a guided visit to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the twelve jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Darshan arrangements will be managed carefully with crowd support and protocol clarity. This temple holds deep energy and emotion for Hindus across the globe.

Continue your exploration of Varanasi’s spiritual side:

  • Sankat Mochan Temple – dedicated to Lord Hanuman
  • Durga Kund Temple – famous for its red-colored deity and architecture
  • Tulsi Manas Mandir – where Goswami Tulsidas wrote the Ramcharitmanas

If you're interested, an early morning or sunset boat ride on the Ganges can be added to witness the ghats from the river — a truly meditative and picturesque experience.

Spend your evening at leisure or walking through Varanasi’s narrow alleyways, known for their chaos, charm, and chaat.

Overnight stay in Varanasi.

Day 5 Departure from Varanasi / Drive Back to Lucknow

After breakfast, you may choose to depart directly from Varanasi Airport or Railway Station or return by road to Lucknow, depending on your onward travel plans.

This final day marks the end of your 5-day spiritual journey across three of India’s most sacred cities. From Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya to the divine flow of the Ganges in Varanasi, and the purity of Sangam in Prayagraj — the experiences, blessings, and memories you take back will stay with you for a lifetime.

  because my time with him in India was the most organized and exciting two weeks of my existence. I spent two weeks touring Southern India with a class of 16 American students and one professor who had never been to India, but thanks to Nand, the trip was seamless. He took us to incredible locations and called upon his personal connections to create opportunities for us and ensure that we were involved and informed. The entire time we were there, Nand made India feel like home. Somehow, he found a way for us to experience a range of incredible, new experiences in a completly unfamiliar place, while always ensuring our safety, comfort, and awareness. There is nothing Nand will not do to make your trip incredible. I cannot reccommend him enough.    ...Read More

  Our trip with Top Indian Holidays was fantastic. Our family of five, including 3 small kids, visited the Golden Triangle of India. It was a wonderful cultural experience. I cannot recommend them enough. The hotel accommodations were great (we stayed at the trident hotels). The food was delicious. Everyone we met in India was so friendly and kind. We always felt safe. Our tour guide Nand was super nice and informative. Our kids’ favorite stop was the Monkey Temple :) The rickshaw ride through Delhi was exciting and fun.  ...Read More

  I’ve made such wonderful memories here in India. For a week, I had the chance to work on my sister’s women’s healthcare project in the village of Chandelao, and then spent a weekend in Jaipur. The accommodations have been top notch, and both our guides- Kartika and Nand Singh- have become our good friends. Top Indian Holidays is a tour company dedicated to exceptional service. Despite traveling alone with my sister, we felt so safe and at home. I truly have fallen in love with I did!  ...Read More

  Last year, I travelled throughout northern India for one month as part of a course at Saint Mary’s College. We had such incredible adventures, thanks to our in country guide and friend Nand Singh Rathore. I was so impressed by his company’s commitment to excellent hospitality that I planned another visit this March. The main purpose of my trip was to work on a women’s healthcare project in Chandelao. Top Indian Holidays was so helpful in organizing transportation and accommodations. Our guide, Kartika, and our driver, Bhim, made sure we were well taken care of. My project would not have gone smoothly if it weren’t for them- and I am so proud to call them my new friends! My sister and I stayed an extra weekend in Jaipur, and Nand Singh was amazing as usual. He is so, so good to us!!! If you visit India through Top Indian Holidays, I assure you that you will have a safe, adventurous, and unforgettable experience!  ...Read More

Expert local guides were used as needed, all professional and friendly. They listen to your desires, and made our first trip to India an adventure of a lifetime.  ...Read More

  Top Indian Holidays is THE BEST! We came to India for the Jain Festival in south India at Shravanabelagola (which happens only once every 12 years) and continued on to the Golden Temple in Amritsar and to sit for teachings with His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama in Dharamsala. Top Indian Holidays handled all of the arrangements expertly, providing first rate service, excellent accommodations, transport, and first rate local guides! We've travelled through many, many countries with numerous very good travel agencies but none have provided the excellent service that Top Indian Holidays provided. They are committed to excellence. Thank you Top Indian Holidays!  ...Read More
