Day 1: Touchdown in Ayodhya – Let the Ramayana Begin!
Welcome to Ayodhya: The Land of Epic Tales & Divine Vibes! Whether you've flown in or chugged in by train, our friendly team will be there with a smile (and maybe a "Jai Shri Ram" or two).
You'll check into your hotel and freshen up. Now let's start the holy tour. First stop is Bharat Kund! The place where Bharat stayed (and mourned) during Lord Ram's exile. Then it's time to witness the real beauty - Kanak Bhawan: It is a palace gifted to Mata Sita.
We'll walk through Hanuman Garhi, where you will witness the mighty god "Hanuman Ji" himself! The next place in our list is Ram Janmabhoomi - the birthplace of Ram. After that:
• A royal peek at Dashrath Mahal
• Some peace at Valmiki Bhawan
Then, a second look at Ram Janmabhoomi, why? Because one visit is never enough.
Conclude the day at Surajkund! Where the light and sound show makes mythology come alive! Return to your hotel, take your dinner, and dream of divine adventures.
Day 2: More of Ayodhya – Hidden Temples & Holy Waters
Start your day with a hearty breakfast (you'll require it!) because we're moving to Chappiya. The birthplace of Lord Swaminarayan. Then we will go to Makhuda Dham, where King Dashrath really prayed his heart out for the kids.
Next stop: Guptar Ghat! Where Lord Ram took Jal Samadhi and bid adieu to earth. The next stop: Chakra Harji Vishnu Temple and the powerful Panchmukhi Mahadev Temple.
Evening time! A temple trail with a twist:
• Visit the glowing Nageshwarnath Temple: An Ancient Shiva temple glowing with faith and devotion.
• Meet the mysterious Kaale Ram: Lord Ram’s idol in black stone—powerful and deeply revered.
• Finish at Ram ki Paidi: The place where the Saryu Aarti turns the river into a golden ribbon of light and devotion.
Then it's back to the hotel for a well-deserved rest.
Day 3: Ayodhya to Prayagraj – Where Three Rivers Hug It Out
Bags packed & breakfast done? Now, we will go to Prayagraj! The home of the mighty Triveni Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and Sarasvati rivers meet.
After hotel check-in and a little rest, we will explore the city's sacred sights. First up: The Hanuman Temple, where Hanuman Ji is lying down and gives blessings to worshippers. Then it's off to Anand Bhawan: the Nehru family’s iconic home-turned-museum.
Wait, there are more places to visit:
• The Alopi Devi Temple (where the goddess literally disappeared)
• The Vat Vriksha (a tree that’s seen more than a few centuries)
We will end the day by visiting Lalita Devi Temple! Return to your hotel and get cozy for the night.
Day 4: Prayagraj to Varanasi – Where Time Slows & Souls Soar
Say goodbye to Prayagraj and hello to Varanasi. The eternal city! After checking into your hotel, take a breather because tonight's going to be magical.
As the twilight approaches, we head straight to the Dashashwamedh Ghat for the famous Ganga Aarti. Imagine:
• Priests in sync
• Lamps in the air
• Chants in the background
• The river glows in gold
It's a straight-up spiritual cinema! You can even take a boat ride for the view from the water.
After taking in the energy, you will get back to your hotel and let the divine feel sink in.
Day 5: Varanasi Full Tour – Temples, Forts & Fabric
Rise and Shine! After breakfast, we are going full explorer mode. The first in our list is the Old Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The second one, Annapurna Temple, for divine blessings (and good food vibes). Don’t miss the Vishalakshi and Kal Bhairav temples—two more must-visit temples in Varanasi.
Now, the next is Ramnagar Fort! The old royal residence with unique collections (including vintage cars and weird clocks!).
Back in Town! The temple tour continues with the:

• The super peaceful Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple

Day 6: From Temples to Buddha – The Sarnath Side Quest
Breakfast Done? We begin the day with a visit to the Markandeya Mahadev Mandir, where the Gomati and Ganges rivers meet. The Second place we will explore is the calm and impressive Swarved Mahamandir Dham. It is a newer temple complex that is all about peace and presence.
Then we will go to Sarnath! It is a place where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Here you'll explore the places that go way, way back:
• Deer Park
• Mulagandha Kuti Vihara

Don’t miss the ancient monasteries and the Sarang Nath Temple before returning to your hotel in Varanasi to relax one last time.
Day 7: Subah-e-Banaras – Sunrise, Serenity & Sayonara
Wake up extra early today—it’s worth it. We head out for the Subah-e-Banaras tour, a dreamy sunrise experience on the ghats. Watch as the city comes to life with chants, sun salutations, river dips, and temple bells. Take a calm boat ride from Assi Ghat to Manikarnika Ghat, the city’s main cremation ground, and experience the spiritual rhythm of life and death coexisting.
After the boat and walking tour, head back to the hotel for breakfast. Then it’s time to check out and get dropped off at the Varanasi Airport or Railway Station.
