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.

Years Guiding

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.”

Rajeev Sharma · Founder

Sacred India

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.

Why choose us

Why Pilgrims Choose Us

We are the Ayodhya–Varanasi unit of Experience My India, and we were built by pilgrims and guides, not by a call centre. Every itinerary is filtered through one question: would this serve a sincere pilgrim? We don't count temples per day. We count moments of genuine stillness.

What makes us different

Ritual-first, always

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

A guide who's done this for 40 years

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.

We'll speak your language

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

Personal care

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

No hidden charges

What we quote is what you pay.

From the ground:The questions I get most are from adult children worried about bringing elderly parents to the ghats. So we plan for it: short walking distances, a private boat instead of the public ghat steps for the aarti, rest built into the afternoons, and a guide who carries the water and stays at arm's reach. And if your parents are more comfortable in Telugu or Kannada than Hindi, I'll guide them in their own language. That alone changes the whole trip for a family.

— MEET YOUR GUIDE —

Rajeev Sharma

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

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, 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."
Rajeev Sharma

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.
