Experience My India's seven-day Varanasi Ayodhya Tour from Delhi is the complete pilgrimage for travellers setting out from the capital - built as a one-way arc that flies you into Ayodhya and brings you home from Varanasi, with no backtracking and three full cities in between.
You begin at the birthplace of Lord Rama, with a grand darshan at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, Hanuman Garhi and Kanak Bhawan and the evening Saryu Aarti. You move to Prayagraj for a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, the reclining Bade Hanuman and the Nehru family's Anand Bhavan. And you finish with three unhurried nights in Kashi - the Ganga Aarti from a boat, a sunrise on the ghats, a VIP darshan at Kashi Vishwanath, the Buddhist calm of Sarnath, and a last morning on the famous Banarasi food trail.
A private AC car runs the whole route with airport and station transfers at both ends, and the Delhi-Ayodhya flight or train and the Varanasi-Delhi flight or Vande Bharat can all be arranged for you. Six nights of hotels, local guides and meals are included. For your dates' per-person price, WhatsApp +91-7302265809.

A direct flight of about 1.5 hours from Delhi (DEL) to Ayodhya's Maharishi Valmiki Airport (AYJ), or a comfortable overnight train. We meet you on arrival and transfer you to your hotel.
Day 1 - Delhi to Ayodhya and the Saryu Aarti
From the capital to Ram Nagri - an easy flight in, and the serene Saryu Aarti to begin the pilgrimage.
Good to know
Experience My India can book your Delhi-Ayodhya flight or train; tell us your departure city and we handle it.
After checking in, we take you to Ram Ki Paidi for the beautiful evening Saryu Aarti - the lamps, bells and chanting on the banks of the river that flows past Lord Rama's city.
Good to know
A gentle, moving start to the trip; the arrival day asks nothing more of you than this.
We return you to your hotel for the night.
Stay
Ayodhya
We take you early for the grand darshan at the magnificent Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, the birthplace temple of Lord Rama and the heart of the city.
Day 2 - Grand Darshan in Lord Rama's Birthplace
A full day in Ayodhya - the Janmabhoomi at its quietest in the morning, and the city's old temples by afternoon.
Good to know
Security is strict - phones, bags and most belongings are not allowed inside - so Experience My India builds in time for lockers and guides you through calmly.
We climb to the hilltop Hanuman Garhi to seek the blessings of the city's guardian deity, whose darshan tradition places before Rama's own.
Good to know
Hanuman Garhi has about 76 steps to the shrine; we take it at your pace.
We visit the jewel-like Kanak Bhawan, said to be Sita's palace, the historic Dashrath Mahal, and the quiet historical corners of the old town.
We stay the second night in Ayodhya.
Stay
Ayodhya
After checkout, a smooth drive of about 170 km, roughly 4 hours, on NH-330 through Sultanpur and Pratapgarh brings us to Prayagraj.
Day 3 - Ayodhya to Prayagraj, the Sacred Confluence
South to the Sangam - a smooth morning drive, and a holy dip at the meeting of the rivers by afternoon.
We board a traditional boat to the Triveni Sangam, the holy meeting of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati, for prayers or a holy ritual dip.
Good to know
The ghat is not the confluence - only a boat reaches the dip; Experience My India pre-arranges an authorised boat and your luggage stays safe in the car.
We visit the nearby underground Bade Hanuman temple, where the deity rests in a rare reclining posture by the Sangam.
We check into your Prayagraj hotel for the night.
Stay
Prayagraj
We visit Anand Bhavan, the historic Nehru family estate and museum, with its preserved rooms and the story of the freedom movement, before setting off for Varanasi.
Day 4 - Prayagraj to Varanasi, the Spiritual Capital
A touch of modern history, then on to Kashi - and straight into the fire and chanting of the Ganga Aarti.
Good to know
Anand Bhavan is closed on Mondays - Experience My India plans the day around it; entry tickets are payable at the gate.
A drive of about 120 km, roughly 2.5 hours, on NH-19 brings us to Varanasi, where we check into your riverside or city hotel.
In the evening we take you to Dashashwamedh Ghat for the spectacular Ganga Aarti - and view it from a boat on the river rather than the crowded steps, which is far calmer and better for photographs.
We stay the night in Varanasi.
Stay
Varanasi
We begin with an early sunrise boat ride across the ghats - the pilgrims at their morning puja, the city waking on the water in soft light.
Day 5 - Deep Kashi Darshan and Heritage Walk
The soul of Varanasi - dawn on the river, a VIP darshan at Kashi Vishwanath, and the famous silk bazaars.
We walk through the old alleyways for a VIP darshan at the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Temple, skipping the long general queue, then the fierce Kal Bhairav and the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple.
Good to know
Experience My India arranges the VIP or sugam darshan so you are not standing in the main queue for hours.
We spend the afternoon in the vibrant local markets, famous for authentic Banarasi silk sarees and wooden handicrafts, with guidance to genuine weavers.
Good to know
We steer you to trusted shops - avoid buying silk from places that drivers or touts push aggressively.
We stay the night in Varanasi.
Stay
Varanasi
A short 30-minute drive to Sarnath, the peaceful deer park where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon - the great Dhamek Stupa, the monastery ruins, and the Archaeological Museum with the Lion Capital of Ashoka.
Day 6 - Sarnath Excursion and Ancient Ghats
A change of pace - the Buddhist calm of Sarnath by day, and a relaxed final evening on the quieter ghats.
Good to know
The Sarnath Archaeological Museum is closed on Fridays; the stupas and gardens stay open and are flat and easy to walk.
A relaxed final evening - the lesser-known ghats such as Assi, or an optional Indian classical music performance, a tradition Varanasi is renowned for.
Good to know
We can arrange a classical music evening on request - a lovely, unhurried way to close the trip.
We stay the third night in Varanasi.
Stay
Varanasi
We treat you to a classic Varanasi breakfast in the old streets - kachori sabzi, hot jalebis, and a thick, creamy lassi in a clay kulhad - the flavours the city is loved for.
Day 7 - Banarasi Food Trail and Return to Delhi
One last taste of Kashi - the city's legendary breakfast - before the easy journey home to Delhi.
After checkout, a transfer to Varanasi Airport (VNS) for your flight to Delhi, or to the station for the high-speed Vande Bharat Express to New Delhi.
Good to know
Experience My India books your return flight or Vande Bharat seat and times the transfer so your departure is unhurried.

What travel guides don't tell you before you arrive.
The single thing that makes this trip easy for a Delhi traveller is also the thing most people get wrong when they try to plan it themselves: the direction. Done right, it is a clean one-way arc - you enter at one end and leave from the other, and never double back. Here is how it works.
You start in Ayodhya, not Varanasi. Since the opening of Ayodhya's Maharishi Valmiki Airport, there is a direct flight of about 1.5 hours from Delhi (DEL) to Ayodhya (AYJ), which lands you in Ram Nagri in time for the evening Saryu Aarti on the very first day. If you would rather travel by rail, a comfortable overnight train runs from Delhi to Ayodhya too. Either way, the trip opens where Lord Rama's story begins.
From there the road does the work, and it is gentle. There are only two intercity drives in the whole week: Ayodhya to Prayagraj, about 170 km and roughly 4 hours, and Prayagraj to Varanasi, about 120 km and roughly 2.5 hours. Everything else is sightseeing within each city. A private air-conditioned car runs the entire route with you, so there are no platforms to change or autos to haggle over between cities.
And you come home from Varanasi, not Ayodhya - which is the whole point of not backtracking. From Varanasi you have two easy ways back to the capital: a direct flight from Varanasi (VNS) to Delhi, or the high-speed Vande Bharat Express from Varanasi to New Delhi, a comfortable day train that many travellers actually prefer for the scenery and the city-centre arrival. Experience My India can book the Delhi-Ayodhya leg in, the Varanasi-Delhi leg out, and everything on the ground between them - so from the moment you leave Delhi to the moment you return, it is one seamless plan.
There is a reason this particular order of cities feels so complete, and it is worth knowing before you go, because it quietly shapes the whole week. Run from Delhi, this journey traces the arc of life itself - from where it begins to where, in the Hindu view, it is finally released.
You start in Ayodhya, at a birthplace. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi is where Lord Rama was born - and with the new temple, the city feels like a beginning in every sense: freshly risen, full of arrival, the start of a story the whole subcontinent carries. It is the right place to open a pilgrimage, on the note of a birth and a homecoming.
Then you come to Prayagraj, and to the Sangam - a meeting. Three rivers converge here, two seen and one unseen, and the confluence has always stood for the coming-together of paths, the middle of the journey where streams that ran separately join and move on as one. A dip here is a washing-clean before the last stretch.
And you end in Kashi - the city of endings, and of liberation. Varanasi is where Hindus have come for millennia to die and be cremated, because to leave the body here, on the banks of the Ganga at the city of Shiva, is believed to grant moksha - release from the whole cycle of birth and death. To arrive in Varanasi at the close of a pilgrimage that began at a birthplace is to have travelled, in seven days, the full span the tradition speaks of: from the first breath of a life to the last, from Ram Lalla in his cradle to the eternal fires of Manikarnika. Few journeys are shaped so purposefully, and most travellers only feel it once they are standing on a boat on the Ganga on the final evening, watching the lamps go down the river. Rajeev Sharma and the Experience My India team build the week so that arc lands exactly as it should. Jai Shri Ram, Jai Gange, Har Har Mahadev.
Pro tip: Our local guides know these nuances intimately. They navigate crowds, time the darshan, handle protocols and share the stories textbooks miss.

This is a one-way arc from Delhi - you fly into Ayodhya (AYJ) and finish in Varanasi (VNS), with no backtracking; Experience My India can book the Delhi-Ayodhya flight or train in and the Varanasi-Delhi flight or Vande Bharat out.
Only two intercity drives all week - Ayodhya to Prayagraj (about 170 km, 4 hours) and Prayagraj to Varanasi (about 120 km, 2.5 hours); the rest is within-city, and seven days keeps the pace relaxed.
Shri Ram Janmabhoomi has strict security - phones, bags and most belongings are not allowed inside, so plan for lockers; we take the darshan early to beat the crowds.
Kashi Vishwanath VIP or sugam darshan can be arranged to skip the long general queue - tell us when booking.
Anand Bhavan in Prayagraj is closed on Mondays and the Sarnath Archaeological Museum on Fridays - Experience My India plans the week around both.
At the Triveni Sangam the ghat is not the confluence - only a boat reaches the dip; the fare is pre-arranged and your luggage stays safe in the car.
The Ganga Aarti is viewed from a boat rather than the crowded steps; carry a change of clothes for the Sangam dip.
Wear comfortable slip-on shoes for the temples and dress modestly for darshan; the relaxed pace suits families, elderly pilgrims and first-time visitors well.
