What's Inside the Ayodhya Varanasi Tour Package
A well-planned Ayodhya Varanasi Tour allows travelers to see two of India's most spiritually significant cities in one comfortable trip. While Varanasi is ancient, reflects a deep intensity, and has a strong connection through its ghats, temple lanes, and Ganga Aarti atmosphere to Lord Shiva, Ayodhya has a calmer, emotionally devotional atmosphere associated with Lord Ram and the Ramayana. The itinerary has been structured to realistically pace the sightseeing in both cities by considering that both cities will require temple security checks, there will be pedestrian traffic between temples, there will be people present in the area between temples, and there will be intercity travel by vehicle.
To provide a complete experience of a spiritual pilgrimage through Varanasi Ayodhya tour package includes the following: attending the evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, witnessing the Kashi Vishwanath darshan in the early morning, having peaceful moments at Saryu River, and seeing many other culturally important sites that are spiritually related, such as Sarnath, Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan, and Guptar Ghat. Early morning travel generally has fewer people and hence offers an easier darshan experience, but a great deal of spiritual energy can be experienced by participating in the Aarti evening ceremony at the ghats and temples. Trip planning must include proper routing, enough rest time, an understanding of crowd movement to ensure a comfortable trip for families, senior travelers, and first-time pilgrims.

Trip Highlights
On this Varanasi Ayodhya Tour, you will discover two of India’s most spiritually significant locations related to the worship of Lord Shiva and Lord Rama.
Significant spiritual sites included on the itinerary; Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Dashashwamedh Ghat, Sarnath, Ram Janmabhoomi, Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan, Guptar Ghat.
Darshan (viewing) of Kashi Vishwanath and Ram Mandir occur early in the morning so that the crowd can be lighter as temple movement increases throughout the day.
The evening experiences such as the Ganga Aarti in Varanasi and Saryu Aarti in Ayodhya will provide strong emotional connections to your journey's spiritual experience.
The Varanasi Ayodhya Tour Package follows a slow pace with balanced sightseeing, comfortable driving times, and time for rest between transfers from one city to another.
As part of this package, we offer an excursion to Sarnath, which is located approximately 21 km (13 miles) northeast of Varanasi, for those who would like to take in some of the Buddhist heritage related to Lord Buddha's first sermon.
Throughout the journey and throughout the route between Varanasi and Ayodhya, many stops will be made due to security checkpoints at places of worship, pedestrian areas, & narrow temple streets with large crowds attending religious services.
Families, seniors, first-time pilgrims, and devotees who wish to take advantage of the spiritual aspects of both Kashi and Ayodhya will find this tour appropriate.
