Ayodhya · Kashi · Prayagraj — 11-night Spiritual Sojourn

Three rivers, three darshans, three thousand years of devotional memory — held in a single, slow journey.

We begin in Ayodhya, at the newly consecrated Ram Mandir, walk barefoot down to the Saryu for an evening aarti, and stay at a quiet heritage haveli a kilometre from the temple. From there, the slow train to Varanasi — three nights at a riverside palace, sunrise on the Ganga, Manikarnika before the world wakes, and a private Kashi Vishwanath darshan via the corridor's fast-track.

Onward to Prayagraj for the Triveni Sangam confluence ritual, Akshayavat and the towering Bade Hanuman ji murti. We close in Lucknow — Nawabi heritage, Bara Imambara, a private Awadhi tunday-kebab dinner with the descendants of the original recipe-holders.

Throughout: priest-led temple access (no queues), Taj or heritage haveli stays, vegetarian (or eggetarian) Awadhi meals, and a quiet companion-cum-storyteller who knows the texts these places came from.

Common questions

Before you book Ayodhya · Kashi · Prayagraj Spiritual Sojourn.

How many days do I need for the full Ayodhya-Kashi-Prayagraj circuit?

Our recommended itinerary is 11 nights. We don't recommend compressing below 9 nights; rushed darshan is the opposite of what this circuit is for.

Is darshan really queue-free at Ram Mandir and Kashi Vishwanath?

We hold pre-booked priest-led VIP-darshan slots at both temples — Ram Mandir's 'Suvidha' counter and Kashi Vishwanath's corridor-side fast-track. Guests bypass the public queues entirely.

Where do we stay in Varanasi?

Either the Taj Nadesar Palace (1835 heritage, away from the ghat crowds) or the BrijRama Palace (right on the ghat, riverside-facing rooms). Both have private boat docks for the pre-dawn Manikarnika journey.

What's the best time of year?

October through March — pleasant 12–22 °C days and crisp evenings ideal for the Ganga Aarti. Avoid June–September (peak monsoon, slippery ghats).
