Around Friday, 7 November 2026
Varanasi (VNS airport or Junction)
Innova pickup at Varanasi, then the four-hour run to Ayodhya in the afternoon, ahead of the festival closures. Evening Saryu Aarti at Ram ki Paidi, an early dinner, and the Ayodhya night we arrange, because Deepotsav day fills the city and the ghat position is won early.
Morning Hanuman Garhi and Ram Mandir darshan at the slot we plan, travelling locker-light, before the day tightens. Afternoon: the symbolic arrival of Ram, Sita and Lakshman by helicopter as the Pushpak Vimana, and the cultural performances, including the international Ramayana troupes. By 4 pm we take your e-pass position at a Ram ki Paidi ghat, the pass secured in advance in your name. At sunset: the lighting, more than 28 lakh diyas across 56 ghats going alight at once, the mass Saryu Aarti, then the laser-mapping and fireworks over the river. Late walk back to the Ayodhya stay.
Slow morning. A quieter Ram Mandir darshan if the schedule allows, or Kanak Bhawan and Dashrath Mahal, then the Innova back to Varanasi for your departure, or a Kashi night added at the same rate.
₹12,500 per day for two guests covers the room with breakfast, the Innova, the guide and the arrangements: three days, ₹37,500 per couple. Add a Kashi day or extend in Ayodhya: ₹12,500 per couple per day. Dinner on request; solo travellers and groups of three or more quoted on WhatsApp on the same model. Price and cancellation terms in writing before any advance. The honest line: the Deepotsav ghat e-pass is free and issued by the administration; we secure and manage it in your name, we do not sell it, and Ram Mandir darshan is free with no paid VIP. What you are buying is the positioning, the pass logistics and the plan.
Carry a government photo ID (the same one used for the e-pass); foreign nationals carry the passport. Phones, cameras and bags are not allowed inside Ram Mandir; travel light on darshan day. Early November evenings on the Saryu are cool; a light layer. Bags and large purses are restricted at the ghat security; minimal only. Reach the ghat position by 4 pm; the magic starts at sunset and the roads harden before it.

Taj Ganges or Hilton Varanasi base with breakfast; the Ayodhya festival night is arranged and confirmed with your written quote, since the ghat night ends late.
With honesty: the ghat position held from 4 pm rather than a late push through the crowd, the darshan at the quiet slot, and the Innova staged close. Tell us ages and mobility on WhatsApp.
Three to four months. Ayodhya fills completely by October for Deepotsav, and the pass window opens weeks ahead.
