What is an Ayodhya Varanasi tour package?
An Ayodhya Varanasi tour package combines the two holiest cities of Uttar Pradesh - Varanasi (Kashi) and Ayodhya - into one guided pilgrimage, usually over 3 to 5 days. A typical trip covers Kashi Vishwanath darshan and the evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi, then the Ram Mandir, Hanuman Garhi and Kanak Bhawan in Ayodhya, with the option to add Prayagraj (Triveni Sangam) on a 4-day route or Chitrakoot on a 5-day one. Varanasi and Ayodhya are roughly 200 to 230 km apart, about a 5 to 7 hour drive. At varanasiayodhyatours.com, packages start from Rs 8,000 per person for the one-day route and from Rs 27,500 for the 3-day yatra, all including a private AC vehicle, hand-picked hotels and guided darshan assistance.

The 3-day itinerary
The essential Varanasi and Ayodhya route, hour by hour. The 4-day and 5-day plans build on this same spine.
- 1Day 1
Arrive Varanasi, evening Ganga Aarti
Arrival at Varanasi airport or Cantt station, where our driver meets you and transfers you to your hotel. Once you have settled in, we take you to Dashashwamedh Ghat for the evening Ganga Aarti - rows of brass lamps swung to conch and bell, the river carrying a thousand floating diyas. It begins after sunset, usually around 6:45 to 7 pm (a little earlier in winter), and we reach 45 minutes ahead so you have a seat rather than a spot at the back. Overnight in Varanasi.
- 2Day 2
Kashi Vishwanath, sunrise boat ride, Sarnath
Before dawn, a sunrise boat ride on the Ganga past the waking ghats - Assi, Manikarnika and Scindia. After breakfast, guided darshan at the Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga through the new Vishwanath Dham Corridor, with queue assistance, then the old-city lanes, Vishwanath Gali and its famous kachori-sabzi. If time allows, Sarnath, where the Buddha gave his first sermon, with the Dhamek Stupa and the Ashoka Lion Capital museum. Overnight in Varanasi.
- 3Day 3
Varanasi to Ayodhya, Ram Mandir, depart
An early start for the drive to Ayodhya, roughly 200 to 230 km and about 5 to 7 hours via Sultanpur and Jaunpur. We plan this as a comfortable travel morning, with the car yours for the day and a proper stop built in, not a rushed dash. Darshan at the Ram Janmabhoomi Ram Mandir, then Hanuman Garhi (a 76-step climb, manageable for most but worth knowing), Kanak Bhawan, and the evening aarti at Ram ki Paidi on the Saryu. Onward drop to Ayodhya Dham station or Lucknow airport for your return, or continue to Prayagraj on the 4-day plan.

The hotels we use
Most operators write "hotels or similar" and leave you to find out at check-in. We name ours. Pick the class that suits you - a comfortable 3-star on a budget, or a landmark 4-5 star property - and we confirm the exact hotel in writing before you pay the balance.
Varanasi (Kashi)
- BrijRama Palace
- Taj Ganges
- Taj Nadesar Palace
- Ramada Plaza by Wyndham JHV
- Radisson Hotel Varanasi
- DoubleTree by Hilton Varanasi
BrijRama Palace is a heritage 5-star right on the Ganga at Darbhanga Ghat, a short walk to Dashashwamedh.

Ayodhya
- The Ramayana Hotel Ayodhya
- Sterling Ayodhya
- Ira by Orchid Ayodhya
Newly opened luxury such as The Solitaire Ayodhya can be arranged on request. Ayodhya is still building its five-star inventory after the Ram Mandir opening, so the strongest reliable stays are excellent 4-star properties.

On the 4-day and 5-day routes.

Why book with us, not a broker
Over 10,000 pilgrims have travelled these sacred cities with us. Most Varanasi to Ayodhya listings are brokers. They collect a booking and hand it to whichever driver and hotel is free that day. We run the route ourselves. Our drivers have driven Varanasi, Ayodhya and Prayagraj for years, our partner hotels know our families by name, and when an elderly parent needs reassurance about the Ram Mandir queue late at night, a real person on our team answers.
- Private vehicle only, your group alone, no shared transport.
- Hand-picked, inspected hotels, named, never "or similar".
- Guided darshan with queue and VIP assistance at Kashi Vishwanath and the Ram Mandir.
- 24/7 WhatsApp support from a local team through the whole yatra.
- Book direct: no marketplace mark-up, and one accountable team from enquiry to drop.

- Dev Deepawali, Varanasi
Kartik Purnima, November - a million lamps down every ghat.
- Ram Navami, Ayodhya
March or April - the birth of Lord Rama.
- Maha Shivratri, Varanasi
February or March - the great night of Shiva at Kashi Vishwanath.
- Magh Mela and Kumbh, Prayagraj
January and February - the vast riverside gathering at the Sangam.
Extend your yatra
Many families add a day or two on either end. On request we can extend to:
- The Buddhist circuit - Sarnath, Bodhgaya, Kushinagar.
- Lucknow, an easy add from Ayodhya, for Nawabi heritage and food.
- Naimisharanya, Vindhyachal or a deeper Chitrakoot stay.
- The Golden Triangle - Agra, Jaipur and Delhi - tacked onto your flights.
