Prices start at ₹5,500 per person for a full Varanasi day tour and ₹17,000 per person for overnight yatras, twin share, base season, with a private Innova Crysta, breakfast, licensed guiding and official darshan coordination included. Your named hotel, exact total and payment schedule arrive in writing on WhatsApp before you pay a rupee.
Begin your sacred journey from your city. Well-connected tour packages for a comfortable experience.

Trusted by thousands of pilgrims for safe, seamless & soulful travel experiences.
No enquiry needed to see our prices. Per person, twin share, base season (April to September). October to March and festival dates add a seasonal hotel supplement, quoted exactly with your named hotel (the multipliers we use are published below, because you deserve to see them).
Note: Heritage is cheaper than Premium on the Gaya Moksha package. Maya Heritage in Bodh Gaya costs less than the Ramada; we print the truth rather than invent a hierarchy.
Solo traveller: add 75% of the hotel component as single supplement. Third adult on an extra bed: 20% off the per-person price. Child 5 to 11 with bed: 75% of the adult price. All three rules are on your written quote, not sprung at checkout.

Breakfast is included at every property, every tier. Your quote names the exact hotel before payment; if a listed property is sold out for your dates, the replacement is named on the same quote with its rating, and you approve it before paying. Chitrakoot is the one town where our hotel block is still being contracted, which is why that package is quoted individually.
From the ground:The reason BrijRama costs what it costs is not the rooms. It is waking to the Ganga through a palace window and stepping straight onto the ghats before the city wakes. If that morning is not worth the difference to you, take Premium and spend the savings on the Alaknanda cruise and a baithak.
Every tier delivers an exceptional pilgrimage, but they cater to different styles of travel. Here is exactly what changes.
The vehicle does not change by tier: everyone rides a private Innova Crysta, because captain seats and easy boarding matter more to a pilgrimage than a badge. A Fortuner or Mercedes is available on request as a priced upgrade. Tier deltas, precisely: Heritage adds the Subah-e-Banaras dawn heritage walk. Luxury adds that walk plus the 3 AM Mangala Aarti, a private classical music baithak evening, and priority coordination for Sparsh Darshan slots.
Our core multi-day journeys connecting the holiest cities across the belt.
Premium ₹71,000 · Heritage ₹77,000 · Luxury ₹119,500 pp
Our new flagship, built on the route the story itself takes. Two full Ayodhya days: e-cart corridor circuit through Hanuman Garhi and Kanak Bhawan, reserved Saryu Aarti seating, a sunset Saryu boat, your official Ram Mandir slot on day two and the Ram ki Paidi diya evening. Prayagraj for Anand Bhavan and the freedom-movement layer, then the sunrise private Sangam boat with mid-river snan and pooja before the road to Kashi. Three Varanasi days: private aarti boat, Kashi Vishwanath Sugam Darshan, the silk weaving houses of Sarai Mohana, Sarnath, and on Luxury the Mangala Aarti at 3 AM followed by a baithak.
Honest note: Day 4 is the long one, Sangam at dawn and Varanasi by night. We build in a real afternoon rest; operators who do not are why families arrive at the Ganga Aarti exhausted.
Premium ₹94,500 · Heritage ₹98,000 · Luxury ₹146,000 pp
Everything the belt holds in one arc: the full Ram Path above, a second Prayagraj day for the Fort, Akshayavat and (in season) the Magh Mela camps, and then the Buddha's geography: evening chanting hour at the Mahabodhi, sunrise meditation under the Bodhi Tree, the international monastery circuit and the 80-foot Buddha.
Honest note: The Varanasi to Bodh Gaya leg is 250 km and 5.5 to 6.5 hours, crossing into Bihar. We run it strictly in daylight.
Premium ₹49,500 · Heritage ₹53,500 · Luxury ₹83,000 pp
The unhurried triangle: a full second Kashi day for Sarnath and the silk houses, the Sangam by private boat with snan and pooja, then Ayodhya's darshan and Saryu evening. The five-day pace is the one guests write to us about afterwards.
Premium ₹37,000 · Heritage ₹40,500 · Luxury ₹60,500 pp
The classic triangle in its natural road order with zero backtracking: Kashi's aarti and Sugam Darshan, the Sangam at sunrise, Ayodhya's Ram Janmabhoomi and Saryu Aarti, drop on day four. Every headline darshan, tightest sensible schedule.
Premium ₹27,500 · Heritage ₹31,000 · Luxury ₹47,500 pp
For short leave: Kashi Vishwanath and the Ganga Aarti by private boat on day one, the 200 km road to Ayodhya on day two for Ram Janmabhoomi, Hanuman Garhi and the Saryu evening, slow morning and drop on day three. If a fourth day exists, the triangle above is a better spend.
Hotel prices in these four cities multiply on festival dates. Every operator knows the multipliers; we appear to be the only one willing to print them. Festival quotes = the base package price + the surged hotel component for your exact dates, hotel named, in writing.
Ram Mandir, Ayodhya: darshan is free, and so are the aarti passes. The trust sells no paid public VIP pass; official free Sugam slots open on the trust portal 15 days ahead at midnight, need Aadhaar and a photo, allow at most 8 people per account, and fill within minutes. Aarti passes are official, donation-based, roughly 30 people per aarti, and non-refundable. What we charge for is the coordination: being awake at midnight with your documents ready, plus timing, lockers, the phones-banned rule and the e-cart plan. Anyone selling a "Ram Mandir VIP pass" on WhatsApp is selling something that does not exist.
Kashi Vishwanath, Varanasi: the paid tiers here are real and official. Sugam Darshan (₹250 to ₹300 on the trust's site) cuts a 2 to 4 hour queue to 15 to 30 minutes and is inside every package as a pass-through. Sparsh Darshan and the 3 AM Mangala Aarti are official, scarce and booked weeks ahead in season; Luxury-tier guests get priority coordination.
Prayagraj Sangam: the dip is free. Anyone charging for "darshan" of the confluence is inventing a fee. The fair boat rate to the Sangam is ₹100 to ₹200 per person; ghat-side touts open at ₹300 to ₹500 and add a "free" garland that is not free. Your boat is pre-fixed, licensed and life-jacketed.
Gaya: the tout gauntlet starts on the station platform. Fake "registered panda" certificates and inflated mid-ceremony dakshina demands are the local industry. Our pandas are registered with the Vishnupad Prabandhkarini Samiti, the rite price is fixed before you travel, and our meet-and-greet takes you past the platform crowd entirely.
If any operator's claim contradicts this section, ask them for it in writing and watch what happens.
Begin the yatra from home. We arrange well-connected packages with flight or train coordination from major Indian cities, so the only thing you plan is your intention.

Night driving on the Varanasi to Gaya stretch is refused on safety grounds. If a temple closure blocks a confirmed darshan, we reroute the day or adjust the bill, and tell you which before it happens.
With Experience My India, the full grid is published above: from ₹17,000 per person for 2 days in Ayodhya at the Premium 4-star tier, ₹27,500 for the 3-day Varanasi Ayodhya yatra, ₹37,000 for the 4-day triangle with Prayagraj, up to ₹146,000 for the 10-day Luxury complete circuit with Bodh Gaya. Prices are per person, twin share, base season, with hotel, breakfast, private Innova Crysta, guiding and listed experiences included and 5% GST inside.
Premium 4★ if value decides (Madin, Ira By Orchid, The Legend, Ramada). Heritage if the building matters: ghat-side havelis and a 150-year kothi, plus the dawn heritage walk. Luxury if this is the once-in-decades family yatra: BrijRama Palace on the ghats, Taj-group Ayodhyam, Mangala Aarti and a private baithak.
No paid public VIP exists; darshan and aarti passes are free and official, released 15 days ahead and gone in minutes, which is exactly why coordination matters. At Kashi Vishwanath the trust's own Sugam Darshan (₹250 to ₹300) is real and included in every package at the trust's price.
Three days for Varanasi and Ayodhya's headline darshans, four to add the Sangam, five for the unhurried triangle, seven for the full Ram Path, ten if Bodh Gaya belongs in your circuit.
October to March for weather; the published surge table shows what the great dates cost and when to book them. April to September is base season: lowest prices, hot afternoons, darshan planned into mornings and evenings.
Yes: fixed published rite prices (₹7,100 / ₹11,000 / ₹31,000 per karta), Samiti-registered Gayawal pandas, your family's entry in the genealogical register, language-matched pandits (Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada), and an online live-video rite from ₹7,000 for family who cannot travel.
Yes. Most Kashi Vishwanath Dham visitors today come from South India, and we built for exactly that: guiding and rite narration in Telugu and Kannada, not a Hindi summary.
Every price here is a real, bookable base-season from-price on the named hotels shown. Winter and festival dates add the published supplements, and your exact figure is fixed in writing on your quote before payment. If a listed hotel is unavailable, you approve the named replacement first.
