Spiritual Gateway to Varanasi, Prayagraj and Ayodhya - Overview
See the birthplace of Lord Rama, Sangam at Prayagraj, and Kashi, the oldest surviving city in the world.
Take advantage of Dpaul’s Varanasi Ayodhya Prayagraj Tour Package to explore the old legendary history of Varanasi and Ayodhya and to experience the sanctity of the place while on your pilgrimage yatra to Varanasi, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj.
Make your trip from Delhi easier by taking the “Vande Bharat Express,” India’s quickest train, back to Delhi.
Traveling to Varanasi will transport you to the ancient past, where India’s mythological core lies. Take a morning boat trip, see the Ganga Aarti, and learn fascinating mythological truths. But without a trip to Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama, to seek blessings and immerse yourself in the religious richness, any foray into India’s mythological past will be in nothing.
In addition to temples and other locations of religious interest, Ayodhya offers countless tourist opportunities that will keep you occupied. Prayagraj is a good site for spirituality because it has the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati Sangams.
Spiritual Gateway to Varanasi, Prayagraj and Ayodhya - Itineraries
The Vande Bharat train departs New Delhi early in the morning for the relaxing eight-hour journey to Varanasi. Our driver or agent will meet you at the Varanasi train station and take you to your accommodation. For Hindus, Varanasi, sometimes called Benares, is one of the most sacred places to visit. The city is thought to have the ability to atone for one of all sins and is regarded as the residence of Lord Shiva.
Explore the well-known ghats in the evening after going through a local market (keep in mind that getting to the ghats requires a 500–800 m walk through the market and a few steps down). Witness the captivating Ganga Aarti, a religious practice in which priests administer “Agni Pooja” (worship of fire) in remembrance of Lord Shiva, the Ganga River, Surya (Sun), Agni (Fire), and the cosmos.
Spend the night at the hotel.
Meals: Indian Railways provides a set menu for tea, snacks, and meals that are supplied on the train.
Take a calm boat ride on the Ganges to start your day early. As the city comes to life, you may enjoy a serene view of the ghats. Take a Varanasi temple visit after the river trip. See important temples such as Hanuman Temple, Tulsi Manas Temple, Durga Temple, Bharat Mata Temple, and the New Vishwanath Temple. After visiting the temples, have breakfast at your accommodation.
In the afternoon, go to Sarnath, the holy location where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon in Deer Park, on the outskirts of Varanasi. The modern Buddhist temple, the gleaming Lion Capital of Ashoka, and the ruins of an old monastery are just a few of the striking historical sites in Sarnath. The Main Shrine, Ashoka’s Pillar, and the Sarnath Museum will also be on your itinerary. The Emperor Ashoka founded Sarnath as a Buddhist temple in the third century BC.
After visiting Sarnath, get back to your lodging. You can spend the evening as you like.
Stay at the hotel for the night.
Following an early breakfast at the hotel, take a four to five-hour scenic drive to Ayodhya, where you will check into your hotel. Ayodhya is one of the holiest cities in Hinduism and is significant because it is the birthplace of Lord Rama, the protagonist of the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana. The epic tells the story of how Lord Rama, an incarnation of God on Earth, fought evil for fourteen years, returned to Ayodhya with his wife Sita, and was crowned king. This victorious return is commemorated as Diwali, one of the most significant Hindu festivals, and Lord Rama’s reign, known as Ram Rajya, is regarded as the ideal model of governance, symbolizing peace, joy, and spiritual harmony.
After visiting important locations such as Ram Janam Bhoomi (the birthplace of Lord Rama), Nageshwarnath Temple, Dashrath Ji ka Mahal, Ramkot, and Kanak Bhawan, take a walking tour of Ayodhya in the afternoon with a local guide. Then, head back to your hotel for the night.
Start your day with breakfast before seeing Hanuman Garhi, located in the center of Ayodhya. The temple is accessed via 76 steps and carries tremendous religious importance. According to legend, Lord Hanuman resided in this cave and protected Lord Rama’s Janambhoomi, or birthplace, at Ramkot. A statue of Maa Anjani with Bal Hanuman perched on her lap may be found at the main temple. Devotees think that coming to this shrine makes their wishes come true.
Drive to Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) after your visit; it will take three to four hours to get there. Upon reaching, check in at your hotel.
Prayagraj is one of the oldest cities in India and bears enormous religious significance in Hinduism. Originally named Prayag, meaning “place of sacrifice,” it is believed to be the area where Brahma committed the first sacrifice after establishing the universe. The city is one of four sites for the Hindu pilgrimage known as the Kumbh Mela. The Triveni Sangam, the holy meeting point of the Yamuna, Ganges, and the fabled Sarasvati rivers, is also located there.
Take a sightseeing tour of Prayagraj in the afternoon, which will include:
Taking a boat ride at Triveni Sangam, where pilgrims congregate to take a dip in the sacred rivers’ confluence
A trip to the Nehru family’s ancestral residence, the Hanuman Temple Anand Bhawan
Alopi Devi Temple, a revered shrine in the city
Return to your hotel for an overnight stay.
