Ayodhya Varanasi Tour Package

Pricing

₹14,999 per person (₹21,000 before discount) for 5 Days/4 Nights. Includes stay, meals as per plan, transport between and within both cities, and darshan booking assistance. Final price varies by hotel category, group size, and season — confirm exact pricing for your dates on enquiry.

Why price varies: Cost depends on hotel category (standard/deluxe) in both cities, group size, season (Ram Navami and Diwali are peak demand periods in Ayodhya), and whether you add Sugam Darshan or special puja bookings in Varanasi. We quote transparently — no hidden charges after booking.

In Ayodhya

• Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir — Darshan of Ram Lalla. General darshan is free, typically available in morning and evening windows with a midday closure for ritual offerings — we time your visit to avoid this.
• Hanuman Garhi — Traditionally visited first, before the main temple; a hilltop shrine to Hanuman, considered the guardian of Ram's birthplace.
• Saryu Aarti at Ram Ki Paidi — Ayodhya's evening riverside ceremony, held at sunset — a quieter counterpart to Varanasi's Ganga Aarti.
• Kanak Bhawan — A beautifully maintained temple-palace associated with Sita, often visited in the evening.

In Varanasi

• Kashi Vishwanath Temple — Darshan at the Jyotirlinga, connected directly to the Ganga via the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor. *(For dedicated VIP darshan and puja booking assistance, see our Kashi Vishwanath Darshan page.)*
• Dashashwamedh Ghat Ganga Aarti — The evening fire ceremony on the Ganga's banks.
• A sunrise boat ride along the ghats, and time in the old city's temple-lined lanes. *(For a fuller Varanasi-only itinerary, see our Varanasi Spiritual Tour package.)*

Pickup, Drop & Transport

• Pickup points: Maharishi Valmiki International Airport or Ayodhya Dham Junction (Ayodhya); Varanasi Airport or Varanasi Junction/Cantt (Varanasi)
• Inter-city transport: Road (~4–5 hours) or rail between Ayodhya and Varanasi, whichever suits your comfort and schedule
• Local transport: AC/Non-AC vehicles within each city, with the final stretch to both Ram Mandir and Kashi Vishwanath covered on foot through pedestrian zones
• Drop back at your chosen final city's airport/railway station

Stay & Meal Details

• Stay at verified hotels in Ayodhya (near Ram Path/temple area) and Varanasi (near Godowlia/the ghats)
• Rooms typically on double/multiple sharing; private-room upgrades available on request
• Meals as per the confirmed plan (usually breakfast & dinner); pure-vegetarian food is standard in both cities' hotel and temple areas

Best Time, Weather & Route Info

• Availability: Both cities can be visited year-round — temple rituals continue regardless of season
• Best months: October–March offers the most comfortable weather for both Ayodhya and Varanasi
• Peak dates: Ram Navami, Diwali, and Dev Deepawali bring exceptional crowds in one or both cities — book well ahead if your dates fall near these
• A key timing note: Both Ram Mandir and Kashi Vishwanath Temple observe a midday ritual closure window — we plan around both so you're never waiting outside a closed gate

Safety, Medical & Senior Citizen Guidance

• Both cities involve some walking through crowded pedestrian zones and, in Varanasi, uneven ghat steps — we pace the itinerary accordingly for elderly travellers
• Carry any regular prescription medicines and inform your travel coordinator of existing medical conditions in advance
• We recommend travel insurance for your overall trip (not included in the package)

This is general guidance, not medical advice — please consult your doctor if you have health concerns before travelling.

Darshan Booking & IDs Required

• Ram Mandir: General darshan is free and doesn't require advance booking, though the free Sugam Darshan e-pass (booked roughly 15 days ahead) reduces waiting time considerably — we handle this booking for you
• A note worth knowing: There is no official paid VIP darshan at Ram Mandir — any agent charging a premium for "VIP access" isn't offering anything official. We only ever book through the temple trust's official portal.
• Kashi Vishwanath: A valid government photo ID is required for Sugam Darshan booking, if you choose to add it
• Carry a valid government photo ID (Aadhaar/Voter ID/Passport) for every pilgrim in the group
