About Our Pilgrimages

Two sacred cities, one guided pilgrimage

Our Ayodhya Varanasi tour packages combine Kashi Vishwanath darshan, the Dashashwamedh Ganga Aarti, and Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya into one guided pilgrimage, usually over 3 to 7 days. Every itinerary includes VIP darshan, a local guide, comfortable stays, and private transport across the roughly 200 km, 4.5-hour Varanasi–Ayodhya route.

We are a Varanasi-based unit of Experience My India, led on the ground by Rajeev Sharma, who has guided pilgrims through Kashi and Ayodhya for over 40 years. We build the trip around the sacred calendar, not a bus schedule.

You travel as a guest, not a passenger.

The Sacred Destinations We Cover

Each of these cities holds a universe of meaning: ancient ghats, living temples, and stories etched into stone over millennia. Here is what each one is known for, and why pilgrims pair them together.

From the ground

"Two darshans of the same temple, on two different mornings, is the single upgrade I push hardest. The first visit you are managing logistics and crowds. The second, you actually pray. After forty years I have stopped apologising for insisting on it."

Varanasi to Ayodhya Distance, Routes & Best Time to Visit

Come between October and March. The weather is kind, the ghats are at their most alive, and Dev Deepawali (Varanasi) and Deepotsav (Ayodhya) fall in this window. If you can only travel in summer, we shift sightseeing to early mornings and evenings and keep the afternoons indoors.

Our Promise

Ritual-first, always

Auspicious

We build the itinerary around the sacred calendar, festival dates, and auspicious darshan windows, not the convenience of a schedule.

40 years of sacred wisdom

Legacy

Your trips are led by Rajeev Sharma, born and raised in Varanasi, who knows the priests by name, which queues to avoid, and the stories that aren't in any guidebook.

Speak your mother tongue

Inclusive

Rajeev guides in Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada. For South Indian families especially, having a Varanasi guide who explains the rituals in your language changes the entire pilgrimage.

VIP darshan & personal care

Premium

VIP darshan assistance and pooja offerings are included as standard. You are looked after as a guest from arrival to departure.

100% transparent pricing

Trusted

What we quote is what you pay. No hidden charges, no last-minute surprises. Honest pilgrimage, always.

40+ years of guiding pilgrims through the sacred heart of Kashi and Ayodhya.

Rajeev Sharma - Tour Guide
40+ Years
Guides in Hindi · Telugu · Kannada · English

Your pilgrimage is led by Rajeev Sharma, a 60-year-old guide born and raised in Varanasi who has led pilgrims through Kashi, Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Naimisharanya, and Bodhgaya for more than 40 years. He guides natively in Hindi, Telugu, English and Kannada.

He learned the routes, the rituals, and the priests not from a manual but from four decades of walking them, season after season. When you book with us, you are not handed to whichever guide is free that day. You travel with someone who has done this longer than most operators have existed.

"People think the hard part of a pilgrimage is the crowd. It isn't. The hard part is slowing down enough to feel where you are. My job, after forty years, is to take the logistics off your shoulders so you can."

Festivals Worth Timing Your Trip Around

Time your pilgrimage to a festival and the same ghats become something else entirely. We book festival trips months ahead because stays sell out. If a festival date matters to you, talk to us early.

Nag Panchami in Kashi: serpents, a hidden well, and the wrestlers of Banaras

Nag Panchami (नाग पंचमी) is the Hindu festival of serpent worship, falling on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of Sawan, Monday, 17 August 2026. Across India milk and flowers are offered to the nagas; in Varanasi the day has two faces found nowhere else together, the great fair at the ancient Nag Kuan, the "serpent well," and the akharas, the traditional wrestling gyms, holding their bouts, for the snake is the emblem of strength and coiled kundalini energy. varanasiayodhyatours.com plans the fair, the akhara and the day around it, on WhatsApp.
