Overview
Embark on a deeply spiritual and culturally enriching 5-day pilgrimage through two of India’s most sacred and historically significant cities Varanasi, the city of Lord Shiva, and Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama. This thoughtfully curated journey invites you to walk in the footsteps of saints, sages, and deities, offering an immersive experience steeped in devotion, mythological significance, and age-old traditions. Begin your journey in Varanasi, one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities and a vibrant center of Hindu spirituality. Here, you’ll explore a tapestry of ancient temples, including the revered Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga, and experience the powerful energy of the ghats along the Ganges. Wander through narrow lanes echoing with Vedic chants, visit Sarnath, the hallowed site where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon, and end your day with the soul-stirring Ganga Aarti — a spectacle of light, sound, and devotion on the banks of the holy river. Continue your spiritual quest to Ayodhya, the legendary city of Lord Ram and a cornerstone of the Ramayana. In Ayodhya, divine tales come alive as you visit the magnificent Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, along with other sacred landmarks such as Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan, and Sita Ki Rasoi. Soak in the tranquility of Guptar Ghat, believed to be the place of Lord Ram’s departure to Vaikuntha, and feel the spiritual aura that pervades this ancient city. This tour is ideal for devotees, heritage seekers, and spiritual travelers looking to reconnect with India’s epic traditions, explore powerful pilgrimage sites, and experience a profound sense of inner peace and cultural insight.
